Move files with the os module

How can I move files using the os module without knowing which system the user uses?

Windows has REName, and I believe you can rename across file systems, which causes a move. Linuxes went with the more representative 'mv' (move) with no 'rename' command. On both, this is what happens: * same filesystem [logical rename looks like a move] Just relinks the file reference * different filesystem [physical move with optional rename] Copy, OPTIONAL verify, delete old copy I don't have Windows to test, but I think this is worth checking:: import os print(os.rename.__doc__) Manually: os.read, os.write, os.unlink
