下面是我对相同任务的版本:

import os, glob, shutil

def make_dir(path):
    if not os.path.isdir(path):
        os.mkdir(path)


def copy_dir(source_item, destination_item):
    if os.path.isdir(source_item):
        make_dir(destination_item)
        sub_items = glob.glob(source_item + '/*')
        for sub_item in sub_items:
            copy_dir(sub_item, destination_item + '/' + sub_item.split('/')[-1])
    else:
        shutil.copy(source_item, destination_item)

Docs明确指出目标目录不应该存在:

以dst命名的目标目录必须不存在;它将被创建，同时还将创建缺失的父目录。

我觉得你最好的选择是。遍历第二个和所有后续目录、copy2目录和文件，并对目录执行额外的copyystat。毕竟，这正是copytree在文档中所做的解释。或者你可以复制和复制每个目录/文件和操作系统。而不是os.walk。

受atzz和Mital Vora启发的合并:

#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import shutil
import stat
def copytree(src, dst, symlinks = False, ignore = None):
  if not os.path.exists(dst):
    os.makedirs(dst)
    shutil.copystat(src, dst)
  lst = os.listdir(src)
  if ignore:
    excl = ignore(src, lst)
    lst = [x for x in lst if x not in excl]
  for item in lst:
    s = os.path.join(src, item)
    d = os.path.join(dst, item)
    if symlinks and os.path.islink(s):
      if os.path.lexists(d):
        os.remove(d)
      os.symlink(os.readlink(s), d)
      try:
        st = os.lstat(s)
        mode = stat.S_IMODE(st.st_mode)
        os.lchmod(d, mode)
      except:
        pass # lchmod not available
    elif os.path.isdir(s):
      copytree(s, d, symlinks, ignore)
    else:
      shutil.copy2(s, d)

与shutil的行为相同。复制树，具有符号链接和忽略参数 如果不存在，创建目录目标结构 如果dst已经存在，将不会失败

下面是一个需要pathlib的版本。路径作为输入。

# Recusively copies the content of the directory src to the directory dst.
# If dst doesn't exist, it is created, together with all missing parent directories.
# If a file from src already exists in dst, the file in dst is overwritten.
# Files already existing in dst which don't exist in src are preserved.
# Symlinks inside src are copied as symlinks, they are not resolved before copying.
#
def copy_dir(src, dst):
    dst.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
    for item in os.listdir(src):
        s = src / item
        d = dst / item
        if s.is_dir():
            copy_dir(s, d)
        else:
            shutil.copy2(str(s), str(d))

注意，这个函数需要Python 3.6，这是Python的第一个版本，其中os.listdir()支持类似路径的对象作为输入。如果需要支持早期版本的Python，可以将listdir(str(src))替换为listdir(str(src))。

这是我对这个问题的看法。我修改了copytree的源代码以保持原来的功能，但是现在当目录已经存在时不会发生错误。我还修改了它，这样它就不会覆盖现有的文件，而是保留两个副本，其中一个具有修改后的名称，因为这对我的应用程序很重要。
