how to copy files in python without os.rename and shutil library?-CodePudding

I have a question about how to copy files without using shutil and os.rename.I have some photos and some videos that I have to copy them in another folder.I can't use shutil and os.rename because this is a condition for that python exercise.I tried open for copy file but only work for text and didn't work for photos and videos

CodePudding user response：

open file in binary mode, and write in binary mode

original_file = open('C:\original.png', 'rb') # rb = Read Binary
copied_file = open('C:\original-copy.png', 'wb') #wb = Write Binary

copied_file.write(original_file.read())

original_file.close()
copied_file.close()
