You can do it all with the os module learn it https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html You will need os.path, os.mkdirs, os.cwd, and some checking or post you attempts someone may help you with it

# i guess this method will do: c = 4 # number of tries if file exist for i in (list of names in directory): tmp = random name.png # or whatever while c: # so if c == 0, then loop stops add file as `i[0]+tmp[1:]`.png c-=1

Eh tricky ... you can use: 1- os.system() and random to send commands to shell, or; 2- Ion Kare 's answer can be used as general.
