How can I rename a file in Python?

Question

I am not able to change the name of my file using "refactor" option. Can i do it by writing a script or is there any other method to change the name of a file?

Answer 1

You can definitely write a script that will rename a file. For that you can use the OS module in python. It contains a built in method called rename which you can use to rename a file. Like this:

import os

os.rename("wrong.py","right.py")

Here, wrong.py file has been renamed to right.py file. 

Here's a python course which can help you get a deeper understanding of python and it's libraries
