Move file

Write a function move_file that will move a file from one location to another. Function takes command, this is very similar to Linux mv command: mv file.txt some_dir/new_file.txt (this will create new_file.txt in some_dir/ and remove the source file).

If name in destination path ends with / it must be considered as a directory. The app must support only moving of files, and no additional options (flags). Examples:

  • mv file.txt file2.txt simply renames the file.
  • mv file.txt first_dir/second_dir/file2.txt create directory first_dir inside current directory, then create directory first_dir/second_dir, create file2.txt inside and remove the source file.
print(open("file.txt").read())
# Some
# Text
move_file("mv file.txt first_dir/second_dir/third_dir/file2.txt")
print(open("first_dir/second_dir/third_dir/file2.txt").read())
# Some
# Text
open("file.txt")
# FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'file.txt'

Note: You can create directory by os.mkdir("first") from module os. But to create os.mkdir("first/second"), first directory needs to exist. Function should work with different directory depth. Use os.remove() to remove the file.

Note: Check your code using this checklist before pushing your solution.
