Code:

subprocess.call(["mv", "*.fasta", f"{my_model_dir}/."])

Error message:

mv: cannot stat '*.fasta': No such file or directory

I tried move all the fasta form of files to other directory. But, I got an error message. I think it's because '*' expression is used as a regular expression in Python so it's not working in this situation. To move files with python script to other directory, what should I do and if you have any suggestions plz let me know it. Thank you.

try subprocess.call(["mv", "\*.fasta", f"{my_model_dir}/."])

You can use the os or shutil library: (How to move a file in Python?)
As for the files of the same type, you can cycle through them using os and then move them one by one.
