Recursively rename ordered jpg files in nested folders with Python

Renames all files in leaf directories inside an arbitrarily nested folder structure, following a 4 digit format, e.g. 000x.jpg

Create as a file called ‘py3-rename-4jpg.py’, or ‘anything.py’. It can then be called from the command line with the folder location as a parameter.

import sys
import os
from os import path
import shutil
import re
re.compile('<title>(.*)</title>')

# usage on a folder called 'tmp dir' in the Downloads folder (note the handling of spaces in folder name)
# from any location
# username@computername Downloads % py3-rename-4jpg.py /Users/username/Downloads/tmp\ dir
# from the containing location
# username@computername Downloads % py3-rename-4jpg.py tmp\ dir
# in this file
# you can just define the Base_Path variable in this file instead

# if True, then print out proposed file renaming, else do rename files
dryrun = False
# full operating system path
Base_Path = None

    os.remove(f"{path}/Thumbs.db") if os.path.exists(f"{path}/Thumbs.db") else None

    # get and sort files
    files = os.listdir(path)
    files.sort(key=lambda var:[int(x) if x.isdigit() else x for x in re.findall(r'[^0-9]|[0-9]+', var)])

    # rename files inplace using 4 digit format, e.g. 0001.jpg
    for count, filename in enumerate(files):
      dst =  f"{count+1:04d}.jpg"
