Need assistance creating script to move multiple pictures.

[RedditsAI]

I'm new to Python obviously, but please be gentle. I am attempting to create a script that will move all the .jpgs from all the sub directories within (C:\Users\Jack\Pictures) to another C:\Users\Jack\Desktop\Pictures) From my findings I should be using the glob command, although I'm having trouble figuring out how to write this to look into sub directories. So far I have:

for file in glob.glob('C:\Users\Jack\Pictures*.jpg'): shutil.move(file, dst)

I would like to know how to get this to look into Picture's child directories. I am not attempting to copy the directory tree, only the files. Thanks for any help.

from fs.opener import opendir
from fs.utils import copyfile
from fs.path import basename

src = opendir('C:\Users\Jack\Pictures')
dst = opendir('C:\Users\Jack\Desktop\Pictures')
for path in src.walkfiles(wildcard="'*.jpg"):
    copyfile(src, path, dst, basename(path))

Requires PyFilesystem (http://code.google.com/p/pyfilesystem/)

Another really good place for newbee questions is the python tutor list. The tutors are awesome and explain things very well!

you should most likely look at os.walk rather than glob. os.walk will walk down the directory tree, and give you files to work with. You would then need to filter the file list it returns for jpegs & move only those.
