        if file.endswith(".gif") or file.endswith(".jfif") or file.endswith(".jpg") or file.endswith(".jpeg") or file.endswith(".png"):
            shutil.move(f"{path1}\\{file}", "C:\\Users\\CLEMENT.LAPORTE\\Pictures\\Pictures\\")
            break
        elif file.endswith(".mp4") or file.endswith(".mkv") or file.endswith(".avi"):
            shutil.move(f"{path1}\\{file}", "C:\\Users\\CLEMENT.LAPORTE\\Videos\\Videos\\")
            break
        elif file.endswith(".mp3") or file.endswith(".wav") or file.endswith(".m4a"):
            shutil.move(f"{path1}\\{file}", "C:\\Users\\CLEMENT.LAPORTE\\Music\\Songs\\")
            break
        elif file.endswith(".exe"):
            shutil.move(f"{path1}\\{file}", "C:\\Users\\CLEMENT.LAPORTE\\App\\")
            break
        elif file.endswith(".txt") or file.endswith(".docx") or file.endswith(".pptx") or file.endswith(".pdf"):
            shutil.move(f"{path1}\\{file}", "C:\\Users\\CLEMENT.LAPORTE\\Work\\")
            break
        elif file.endswith(".py") or file.endswith(".c") or file.endswith(".cpp") or file.endswith(".java") or file.endswith(".js") or  file.endswith(".html") or file.endswith(".css"):
            shutil.move(f"{path1}\\{file}", "C:\\Users\\CLEMENT.LAPORTE\\Code\\")
            break
        else:
            shutil.move(file, "C:\\Users\\CLEMENT.LAPORTE\\Other\\")
            break
        print(f"Moved:\t{file}\t")

moveFile(path)

Here is my error

Enter the path you want to sort: C:\Document
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Tools\python\Portable_Python-3.9.9 x64\App\Python\lib\shutil.py", line 815, in move

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    with open(src, 'rb') as fsrc:

This is the entire error message. I dont know why it dont works but i did it with a folder with 1 picture inside of it and my program worked. But when y tried with a folder with different type of file inside of it it dont work. Can someone help me please ?

(ps: some text are in french sorry)

It's unclear how the code shown can result in that error.

This kind of code should be "table driven" which results in less code and more extensibility.

Something like this:

from os import listdir
from os.path import join, isfile
from shutil import move
from pathlib import Path

BASE = 'C:\\Users\\CLEMENT.LAPORTE'
DEFAULT = 'Other'

CONTROL = {('gif', 'jfif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'png'): 'Pictures\\Pictures',
           ('mp4', 'mkv', 'avi'): 'Videos\\Videos',
           ('mp3', 'wav', 'm4a'): 'Music\\Songs',
           ('exe',): 'App',
           ('txt', 'docx', 'pptx', 'pdf'): 'Work',
           ('py', 'c', 'cpp', 'java', 'js', 'html', 'css'): 'Code'}


def moveFiles(path):
    for file in listdir(path):
        if isfile(file): # ensure that it's a regular file
            suffix = Path(file).suffix[1:]
            for k, v in CONTROL.items():
                if suffix in k:
                    p = v
                    break
            else:
                p = DEFAULT
        try:
            move(file, join(BASE, p))
            print(f"Moved: {file} -> {p}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f'Failed to move {file} -> {p} due to {e}')


path = input("Enter the path you want to sort: ")

moveFiles(path)

Change the \\ in the paths with / and it should normally work, if not, the specified files do not exist (try to either change them or add a condition that create a folder if t doesn't find it)
