How to move a file using Python?

Question

Python

I tried using the os library:

os.rename('D:\\OneDrive\\Python\\PYTHON_LECTURES\\lecture3.py', 'D:\\OneDrive\\Python\\PYTHON_LECTURES\\small\\lecture3.py')

Gives an error: WindowsError: [Error 3]
Tried with shutil:

shutil.copyfile(r'D:\OneDrive\Python\PYTHON_LECTURES\test.py', r'D:\OneDrive\Python\PYTHON_LECTURES\test\test.py')

Error: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'D:\\OneDrive\\Python\\PYTHON_LECTURES\\test\\test.py'
Escaped slashes, didn't escape slashes. I can't figure out what the problem is.
Thanks in advance.
