Robocopy based on extensions

Currently I am using robocopy in python to copy out files based on extensions.

The code is below:

call(["robocopy","C:\",dest,"*.7z","/S","/COPYALL"])

But in a scenario where there is no 7z files, it still creates the dest directory.

Is there a way to only create the directory and copy the file only if it exists?

Why not check if there are 7z files before calling the copy utility?

import glob
if glob.glob("*.7z"):
   call(["robocopy","C:\",dest,"*.7z","/S","/COPYALL"])
