Little improvement with pathlib.

import shutil from pathlib import Path source = "~/.wine" # https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.Path.glob source = Path(source).expanduser().glob('**/*.exe') destination = Path("~/BACKUP/").expanduser() for source_file in source: shutil.copy2(source_file , destination) print(f'{source_file.name:40} --> {destination}') # https://pyformat.info/ print( "Finish" )
