You can make os.path.join sort out the directory seprator for you. It will add a / under linux and \ under windows. >>> os.path.join('Testing dir','oldname dir','filename') 'Testing dir/oldname dir/filename' So the code above can be like, import os oldname = os.path.join(_files_to_mod, fname) newname = os.path.join(_files_to_mod, new_name) shutil.copy2(oldname, newname) Not sure if it is a concern in your case but as far as I know shutil.copy2 will overwrite any existing files with the new_name without warning. Have a look at [1] for a great explanation on os.path.
