This article is about how to use simple python script that groups files with same extension into a folder

This eradicates the tedious and boring job of creating folders manually and moving files into them.

Let’s dive in and see how it works …..!

Where to keep the script?

The script should be outside the folder which you need to organize

In my case experiment folder has script named demo.py and live_demo is the folder containing various files

contents in experiment folder

contents in experiment folder

contents in live_demo folder

contents in live_demo folder

Now comes our magic script

[embed]demo.py file

Now just execute the above file and see the magic. You should see the files are arranged in their respective extension folders like below.
