----



=== Copy ===

Copy the contents of a file to another file (or directory). File permissions are also copied.

{{{
from pathlib import Path
import shutil

p = Path('.')
original = p.joinpath('build')
destination = p.joinpath('archive')
for f in original.iterdir():
    shutil.copy(f, destination)
}}}

If the source and destination filenames represent the same file, `shutuil.SameFileError` is raised.

If the destination is not writeable, `OSError` is raised.

----



=== Copy2 ===

Same as `copy` but tries to preserve metadata.

----



=== CopyFile ===

Copy the contents of a file to another file. No metadata is copied.

{{{
from pathlib import Path
import shutil

p = Path('.')
original = p.joinpath('build')
destination = p.joinpath('archive')
for f in original.iterdir():
    shutil.copyfile(f, destination.joinpath(f.name))
}}}

If the source and destination filenames represent the same file, `shutuil.SameFileError` is raised.

If the destination is not writeable, `OSError` is raised.
