Question: How to rename a file named a.txt to b.kml using Python?

To rename files in Python, utilize the os.rename() function. It takes two arguments: the current file path and the desired new file path.

import os

# Rename 'a.txt' to 'b.kml'
os.rename('a.txt', 'b.kml')
Copy after login

Usage:

The syntax for os.rename() is:

os.rename('from.extension.whatever','to.another.extension')
Copy after login

Where:

  • from.extension.whatever represents the current file path and filename with its extension.
  • to.another.extension represents the desired new file path and filename with the new extension.
