File_Collector.py

"""
Script Name: File_Collector.py

Author: Madhurima Rawat

Purpose:
    This script traverses through Week 1 to Week 12 folders inside a given source directory.
    It looks for an "Assignment" subfolder in each week and copies all files from it into
    a single destination folder.

    To avoid filename conflicts, each copied file is prefixed with the week number
    (e.g., Week1_filename.ext).

Usage:
    - Set `source_base_path` to the directory containing "Week 1" to "Week 12" folders.
    - Set `destination_folder` to where you want to collect all assignment files.
    - Run the script in any Python environment with appropriate access permissions.
