There are a few things you could do but one very powerful
trick is to use a table driven approach. Thus:

The one thing people told me when i started learning python was that python
has this lovely structure called dictionaries. Your particular problem is
very easy to solve using dictionaries in about 12 lines (i coded it myself
just to see ;-)).
For instance you could define the various values as a

Welcome to Python. You
Hey Mark, welcome aboard!
There are a few different approaches you could take to convert your
scripts. If most of your scripts are related to copying/moving files,
I'd have a look at Python's shutil module. I think it'll work in both
Windows and Linux but I don't have a Windows machine handy to
If you import os, os.path, and shutil (only the ones you need,
although I wind up using all three for this sort of task), you can do
all that you have in mind and more.
os.path opens up some pretty painless methods for doing things like
testing to make sure the file exists in a given location befo

Ahh, yes. Your main trouble seems to be the use of \ instead of / in
'C:\testing_it.txt'
Windows uses \, whereas python uses /. So you can replace 'c:\'
with your choice of the following:
'c:/' (replacing \ with /)

Also have a look at the os.path module. Because you want these scripts
to work on both Linux and Windows, using os.path will let you avoid
writing platform specific code to handle your slashes.
For example:
