目录和文件复制示例，来自Tim Golden的Python Stuff：

import os
import shutil
import tempfile

filename1 = tempfile.mktemp (".txt")
open (filename1, "w").close ()
filename2 = filename1 + ".copy"
print filename1, "=>", filename2

shutil.copy (filename1, filename2)

if os.path.isfile (filename2): print "Success"

dirname1 = tempfile.mktemp (".dir")
os.mkdir (dirname1)
dirname2 = dirname1 + ".copy"
print dirname1, "=>", dirname2

shutil.copytree (dirname1, dirname2)

if os.path.isdir (dirname2): print "Success"

shutil.copy（src，dst，*，follow_symlinks=真）

复制文件是一个相对简单的操作，如下面的示例所示，但是您应该使用shutilstdlib模块。

def copyfileobj_example(source, dest, buffer_size=1024*1024):
    """      
    Copy a file from source to dest. source and dest
    must be file-like objects, i.e. any object with a read or
    write method, like for example StringIO.
    """
    while True:
        copy_buffer = source.read(buffer_size)
        if not copy_buffer:
            break
        dest.write(copy_buffer)

如果要按文件名复制，可以执行以下操作：

def copyfile_example(source, dest):
    # Beware, this example does not handle any edge cases!
    with open(source, 'rb') as src, open(dest, 'wb') as dst:
        copyfileobj_example(src, dst)

万一你走得这么远。答案是您需要整个路径和文件名

import os

shutil.copy(os.path.join(old_dir, file), os.path.join(new_dir, file))

copy2（src，dst）通常比copyfile（src，gst）更有用，因为：

它允许dst是一个目录（而不是完整的目标文件名），在这种情况下，src的基本名称用于创建新文件；它在文件元数据中保留了原始的修改和访问信息（mtime和atime）（不过，这会带来一些开销）。

下面是一个简短的示例：

import shutil
shutil.copy2('/src/dir/file.ext', '/dst/dir/newname.ext') # complete target filename given
shutil.copy2('/src/file.ext', '/dst/dir') # target filename is /dst/dir/file.ext
