python文件覆盖输出,Python程序在覆盖文件名（如果已经存在）时重命名文件名

As the title says, I wanted a python program that changes the file name, but I wanted to overwrite if there already is a file with that destination name.

import os, sys

original = sys.argv[1]

output = sys.argv[2]

os.rename(original, output)

But my code just shows me this error when there already is file with that destination name.

os.rename

WindowsError: [Error 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists

What fix should I make?

On Windows os.rename won't replace the destination file if it exists. You have to remove it first. You can catch the error and try again after removing the file:

import os

original = sys.argv[1]

output = sys.argv[2]

try:

os.rename(original, output)

except WindowsError:

os.remove(output)

os.rename(original, output)
