newbie: windows xp scripting

[oscartheduck]

For completeness' sake, this is the new script I came up with:

import os

dirfrom = 'C:\\test'
dirto = 'C:\\test1\\'
makedir = 'mkdir "%s"' % dirto
copy_command = 'copy "%s" "%s"' % (dirfrom, dirto)

if os.system(copy_command) == 0:
    print "yay"
else:
    if os.system(makedir) == 0:
        if os.system(copy_command) == 0:
            print 'yay!'
        else:
            print 'WTF mate?'


Is there a more efficient way of doing this?
