Copy / Update - Paste a directory.

[Alban Nona]

 Hello everybody !

wow my first time on this mailing list :)

Well, here the deal.
Im doing a script that basically copy and past into the local drive a
specified directory with all this files.
Im doing the copy with a copytree which is working well.
But, (and I know it will not work as copytree dont update directory) Im,
like, stuck when I have to update the directory.

For a better understanding here what the tree look like:

G:/prod/actual/project/xxx/shot/shot_EN_006/render/v001

and sometime as we have to rerender, we update the "render" folder with a
v002:

G:/prod/actual/project/xxx/shot/shot_EN_006/render/v002


So, actually my script can copy my
*G:/*prod/actual/project/xxx/shot/shot_EN_006/render/v001
directory to *C:/*prod/actual/project/xxx/shot/shot_EN_006/render/v001
but I dont know how to proceed to update this folder when asked.

Here the actual script, as you can see the update part will not work.

    workPath = '/Prod//Projects/' + '/' + project + '/' +  '/shots/' + '/' +

    localPath = localMount + workPath
    networkPath = networkMount + workPath
    if sys.argv[1] == 'update':
        if os.listdir(networkPath) != os.listdir(localPath):
            copyfile = shutil.copyfile(networkPath, localPath)

    elif sys.argv[1] == 'copy':
        if os.path.exists(localPath) == 0:
            copytree = shutil.copytree(networkPath, localPath,
symlinks=True, ignore=None)
    if sys.argv[1] not in  ('update', 'copy'):
        print 'Error, please enter the command: "update" or "copy"'

if __name__ == "__main__":
    checkRead()
