Trouble grouping files with Python - python-2.7

Question

So, my main goal is to have this make directories based on the amount of (files//2000)+1 and put 2000 files in each directory and whatever is leftover into the final directory (assuming it'll never be divisible by 2000 evenly).
So far, my scripting looks like this:
import os
import shutil
def createDirs():'
src='P:\\stuff
folderNumber=0
filesNumber=0
for files in os.listdir(src):
filesNumber=filesNumber+1
print filesNumber
totalFolders=(filesNumber//2000)+1
print totalFolders
for folders in range(0, totalFolders):
os.mkdir('P:\\Project\\User\\TEST\\folder' + str(folderNumber))
folderNumber=folderNumber+1
def group():
fileType='.txt'
src='P:\\Project\\User\\files'
folderCount=0
fileCount=0
for folders in os.listdir('P:\\Project\\User\\TEST'):
folderCount=folderCount+1
for files in os.listdir('P:\\Project\\User\\TEST\\folder' + str(folderCount)):
fileCount=fileCount+1
while fileCount <= 2000:
for file in os.listdir(src):
if file.endswith(filetype):
path = os.path.join(src, file):
shutil.move(path, 'P:\\Project\\User\\TEST\\folder' + str(folderCount))
The directories get made, the files move to folder one, but files just keep flowing into folder 1 endlessly.
Any help and/or ways to improve this process would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

in your while statement you never increase fileCount or folderCount. I would probably remove the while statement and replace it with:
for name in os.listdir(src):
if name.endswith(filetype):
fileCount += 1
if fileCount > 2000:
fileCount = 0
folderCount += 1
path = os.path.join(src, file):
shutil.move(path, 'P:\\Project\\User\\TEST\\folder' + str(folderCount))
