Copy files with timestamp into folders and subfolders, which are built in year/month/day in Python
I have a question. I have files in different folders and subfolders. I have created a new file system in a new environment by year, month and day. I want to save the files there, I would like to read the files according to their timestamps and store them automatically in the designated folders. How do you do that best?

Here is my solution:
import os
from datetime import datetime
SRC_PATH = './src'
DST_PATH = './dst'
for dirpath, _, filenames in os.walk(SRC_PATH):
for filename in filenames:
src_filepath = os.path.join(dirpath, filename)
last_edit = datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime(src_filepath))
dst_dirpath = os.path.join(DST_PATH, str(last_edit.year), str(last_edit.month), str(last_edit.day))
dst_filepath = os.path.join(dst_dirpath, filename)
os.makedirs(dst_dirpath, exist_ok=True)
os.rename(src_filepath, dst_filepath)
print(src_filepath, '->', dst_filepath)
It will walk recursively your directory structure and move all files to another directory named by YEAR/MONTH/DAY of file modification.

os.walk()- os.makedirs()

You can simply use datetime to format timestamp to string and then define you folder name
from datetime import datetime
ts = 1514101485
folder_name = datetime.utcfromtimestamp(ts).strftime('%Y_%m_%d')

Here is my solution:
import os
from datetime import datetime
SRC_PATH = './src'
DST_PATH = './dst'
for dirpath, _, filenames in os.walk(SRC_PATH):
for filename in filenames:
src_filepath = os.path.join(dirpath, filename)
last_edit = datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime(src_filepath))
dst_dirpath = os.path.join(DST_PATH, str(last_edit.year), str(last_edit.month), str(last_edit.day))
dst_filepath = os.path.join(dst_dirpath, filename)
os.makedirs(dst_dirpath, exist_ok=True)
os.rename(src_filepath, dst_filepath)
print(src_filepath, '->', dst_filepath)
It will walk recursively your directory structure and move all files to another directory named by YEAR/MONTH/DAY of file modification.
