How to copy a file to a specific folder in a Python script? I have the path of a file stored in a variable (say) filePath. I would like to copy that particular file to another specific folder within a Python script.   I tried   folderPath = (os.getcwd() + "/folder_name/") #to get the path of the folder shutil.copyfile(filePath, folderPath)   But I got an error  IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory.  How can I solve this ?  My question might seem to be  a duplicate of . But actually, I want to copy a file to a folder/directory whereas most answers to that question mention copying one file to another file.
How can a file be copied? How do I copy a file in Python?  I couldn't find anything under .
Alternative definition of hyperbolic cosine without relying on exponential function Ordinary trigonometric functions are defined independently of exponential function, and then shown to be related to it by Euler's formula.   Can one define hyperbolic cosine so that the formula $$\cosh{x}=\dfrac{e^x+e^{-x}}{2}$$ becomes something to be proven? How can I achieve having logical page numbers shown in acrobat reader? A proof that $1=2$. May I know why it’s false? My cursor is moving by every selection by large increments!  Normally when I use Blender, I am able to select and move objects to any coordinate. Now, all of the sudden, when I select an object or mesh the selection moves by an inch or so in each direction.  How do I reset it to normal? Clear item with custom name? How do you clear 1 item from the inventory that has a custom name? What I'm trying to do is make a torch that when you hold it, it gives you Night Vision effect but after like 400 ticks or so I want the torch to run out of fuel and clear 1 torch away from the inventory, I have the potion effects (giving and taking away) working and the testfor command but how do I clear the item? this is my code I'm trying to use /clear @a torch 1 1 {display:{Name:"Special Torch"}} Can the system leave a deletion reason when it deletes a question? Is hyperref really the best way to add metadata to a TeX file? So I know one of hyperref's features is that it can add metadata to you PDFs. This is a nice feature and if you're putting stuff online, it's good to include metadata.  But is the hyperref package really the best way to do it? I mean, if you're using hyperref anyway, that's fine. But if you don't want hyperrefs in your document, it seems weird to include the package, and then turn off pretty much all its functionality. And given that hyperref is a shorthand for "package conflict nightmare", is seems insane that you should have to deal with it just for the sake of some metadata.  So I have two questions.   Is there a good reason that hyperref includes this functionality which is apparently unrelated to its primary purpose? Is there a better (smaller, less conflicty, easier...) option to include metadata in my PDFs? Is there a name for "the string of characters typed randomly on a keyboard home row"? Error "Settings to access printer 'printername' are not valid" when printing from Windows service What is the relationship between ISO, aperture, and shutter speed? Travelling to Italy without my spouse who is a UK citizen I am India citizen married to a UK national who has been issued a Schengen Visa from the Italian consulate as a spouse of a UK national. My husband was supposed to travel with me but now can’t. We have decided that I should still pursue the trip without him as I will be joining our friends there. Please can someone let me know if I will still be allowed to travel to the Schengen region with a valid Schengen Visa issued as a spouse of a EEA national but without my husband joining me there in person ? Finding the limit of $(1-\cos x)/x^2$ Restricting T to string and int? I have built myself a generic collection class which is defined like this.   public class StatisticItemHits&lt;T&gt;{...}   This class can be used with int and string values only. However this  public class StatisticItemHits&lt;T&gt; where T : string, int {...}   won't compile. What am I doing wrong? Here is a minimal example that showcases my problem:  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{amsthm} \usepackage{hyperref} \usepackage{cleveref}  \newtheorem{thm}{Theorem} \newtheorem{lem}[thm]{Lemma}  \begin{document}  \begin{lem} Lemma \end{lem}  \end{document}   The warning I get is the following:  [1pdfTeX warning (ext4): destination with the same identifier (name{thm.1}) has been already used, duplicate ignored  \AtBegShi@Output ...ipout \box \AtBeginShipoutBox                                                    \fi \fi  l.16 \end{document}                    {&lt;install dir&gt;/MiKTeX/2.9/pdftex/config/pdftex.map}]   I know that it is just a warning and that, my document will still work perfectly fine with regards to cross-referencing and hyperlinking, but I would still like to know why I am getting this warning and if anything can be done to fix it without removing functionality of the included packages.   Bonus question: Whats going on behind the scenes when this warning (or any generic 'destination with the same identifier (name{XXX.YYY}) has been already used, duplicate ignored') is produced, as this is not limited to theorem environments.

Browsing through a copy of Counterexamples in Analysis (Gelbaum  &amp; Olmsted), I'm quite enjoying the typeface used for 'script' letters (see links to examples below); visually it's somewhere between what I'd now call calligraphic and fraktur, and semantically it's used where now we'd use mathcal, mathfrak or mathbb.  I was therefore procrastinatiously looking for a LaTeX-usable font to include these characters, but couldn't seem to find any. I'm certain they're not unique to this text or publisher, so figured my lack of success was probably more to do with searching with the wrong keywords. If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful. How to read a text file reversely with iterator in C# I need to process a large file, around 400K lines and 200 M. But sometimes I have to process from bottom up. How can I use iterator (yield return) here? Basically I don't like to load everything in memory. I know it is more efficient to use iterator in .NET. How to turn off magic quotes on shared hosting? I want to turn off PHP's magic quotes.  I don't have access to php.ini.  When I tried to add php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off to my .htaccess file, I get a 500 internal server error. This is what my .htaccess file looks like:  AddType x-mapp-php5 .php php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off   Then I tried to use ini_set('magic_quotes_gpc', 'O'), but that had no effect.  How do I turn magic quotes off? Find the asymptotic tight bound in  $$ T(n) = 4T\left(\frac{n}{2}\right) + n^{2}\log n. $$  where $ \log n= \log _{2}n $ and $T(1) = 1$.  I should solve this using all three common methods: iteration, master theorem and substitution.  It is highly likely that this kind of recurrence equation will be in my test in two days. Thank you very much in advance! Looking for the name of a post apocalyptic/sci-fi tv show or film Every once in a while this starts nagging me, I have really no idea and not much to go on so here goes...  A man wearing a blue? uniform walks into a town that looks abandoned and empty and all covered in dust.  The skies are brown/dirty with no sun.  He goes into the upstairs of one of the houses. He stops at I think a fireplace, examines something, or it’s like he’s remembering something.  Then downstairs in the street, a man/person wearing rags/robes with bandages covering his face starts banging on a fire hydrant with a stick/pipe. More people in bandages/robes start appearing, there's a chase in the town. I don't remember much but he's chased into wastes? through a gully or ditch and then a vehicle (only really remember that it was steel in colour) shows up and a woman comes and shoots one or two of the people chasing him.   That’s about all I remember. I was about 6 or 7 maybe and it was afternoon maybe a little later.  I thought maybe Star Trek, but after searching I don't think it is. I think it might be 80's, maybe early 90's. I think it's sci-fi rather than post-apocalyptic. Why is $(0, 0)$ not a minimum of $f(x, y) = (y-3x^2)(y-x^2)$? There is an exercise in my lists about those functions: $$f(x, y) = (y-3x^2)(y-x^2) = 3 x^4-4 x^2 y+y^2$$  $$g(t) = f(vt) = f(at, bt); a, b \in \mathbf{R}$$  It asks me to prove that $t = 0$ is a local minimum of $g$ for all $a, b \in \mathbf{R}$  I did it easily: $$g(t) = 3 a^4 t^4-4 a^2 t^2 b t+b^2 t^2$$ $$g&#39;(t) = 2 b^2 t-12 a^2 b t^2+12 a^4 t^3$$ $$g&#39;&#39;(t) = 2 b^2-24 a^2 b t+36 a^4 t^2$$  It is a critical point: $$g&#39;(0) = 0; \forall a, b$$  Its increasing for all a, b: $$g&#39;&#39;(0) = 2b^2 &gt; 0; \forall b \ne 0$$ and $$b = 0 \implies g(t) = 3 a^4 t^4$$ which has only one minimum, at $0$, and no maximum  However, it also asks me to prove that $(0, 0)$ is not a local minimum of $f$.  How can this be possible? I mean, if $(0, 0)$ is a minimum over every straight line that passes through it, then, in this point, $f$ should be increasing in all directions, no?
