this one is faster:

import os
srcpath =3D 'the:old:location.txt'        # fill in your paths here!
dstpath =3D 'the:new:location.txt'
os.renames(srcpath, dstpath)

findertools instructs the Finder via appleevents to move the files. When 
you're moving a lot the AE mechanims gets clogged and cause the Finder 
the protest/crash. os.renames just changes the directory directly.
