Copies a Sample playground from Documents to Desktop and opens it in Xcode. I trigger this from an Alfred workflow.

NewPG.py

import shutil, errno, subprocess

def recurse(n):
	fileAt = '/Users/rmozayeni/Desktop/Sample%s.playground' % ("" if n == 0 else str(n))
	try:
		shutil.copytree('/Users/rmozayeni/Documents/Sample.playground', fileAt)
	except OSError as e:
		if e.errno == errno.EEXIST:
			return recurse(n+1)
		else: exit(1)
	
	return fileAt


subprocess.call(['open', recurse(0)])
