Remove jpg when raw existing

remove_jpg_if_raw_exists.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
# Script:      remove_jpg_if_raw_exists.py
#
# Description: This script looks in all sub directories for
#              pairs of JPG and RAW files.
#              For each pair found the JPG is moved to a
#              waste basket directory.
#              Otherwise JPG is kept.

there's no mention of which Python version this is for, so I assumed version 3.

When setting the "waste" folder in Windows, the \ character needs to be escaped with another \

For example: d:\path\to\waste

on line 46, the print function should use parentheses, so print(path) instead of print path

on line 60, I'm getting a syntax error at the close quote (") immediately following the last %s. I have not solved that issue yet. Script won't run because of this issue.

A little bit later but...
This is the correct 60 line:
print ("{}: {} = {} => {}".format(path, base_name, jpg, waste_dir))

To all of those who wrote and fine-tuned this script, thank you. It was exactly what I was looking for and it worked perfectly.

for python 3 line 46 should be: print(path)
EDIT: oh sorry goremanX already mentioned that 🙈

Thanks @tazztone. It was written when Python 2 was widely used. I will fix it when at home.

yea would be nice if upgraded to python3. idk how to code, i just asked chatgpt what might be wrong with the script.
changed line 24 to waste_dir = r"X:\2023\waste" so that it doesn't create a folder named "3" (coz apparently \202 is interpreted as "octal escape"?)
while running it i found that the waste-jpgs get moved beside "waste" folder, instead of inside it.
idk maybe this helps u to fix with less effort.
