这里有一个简单的方法，不需要任何模块。这与这个答案类似，但如果它是一个不适合RAM的大文件，那么它也可以工作：

with open('sourcefile', 'rb') as f, open('destfile', 'wb') as g:
    while True:
        block = f.read(16*1024*1024)  # work by blocks of 16 MB
        if not block:  # end of file
            break
        g.write(block)

因为我们正在编写一个新文件，所以它不会保留修改时间等。如果需要，我们可以使用os.utime。

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

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"

在Python中，可以使用

梭式组件操作系统模块子流程模块

import os
import shutil
import subprocess

1） 使用shutil模块复制文件

shutil.copyfile签名

shutil.copyfile(src_file, dest_file, *, follow_symlinks=True)

# example    
shutil.copyfile('source.txt', 'destination.txt')

---

shutil.copy签名

shutil.copy(src_file, dest_file, *, follow_symlinks=True)

# example
shutil.copy('source.txt', 'destination.txt')

---

shutil.copy2签名

shutil.copy2(src_file, dest_file, *, follow_symlinks=True)

# example
shutil.copy2('source.txt', 'destination.txt')  

---

shutil.copyfileobj签名

shutil.copyfileobj(src_file_object, dest_file_object[, length])

# example
file_src = 'source.txt'  
f_src = open(file_src, 'rb')

file_dest = 'destination.txt'  
f_dest = open(file_dest, 'wb')

shutil.copyfileobj(f_src, f_dest)  

---

2） 使用os模块复制文件

os.popen签名

os.popen(cmd[, mode[, bufsize]])

# example
# In Unix/Linux
os.popen('cp source.txt destination.txt') 

# In Windows
os.popen('copy source.txt destination.txt')

---

os.system签名

os.system(command)


# In Linux/Unix
os.system('cp source.txt destination.txt')  

# In Windows
os.system('copy source.txt destination.txt')

---

3） 使用子流程模块复制文件

subprocess.call签名

subprocess.call(args, *, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, shell=False)

# example (WARNING: setting `shell=True` might be a security-risk)
# In Linux/Unix
status = subprocess.call('cp source.txt destination.txt', shell=True) 

# In Windows
status = subprocess.call('copy source.txt destination.txt', shell=True)

---

subprocess.check_output签名

subprocess.check_output(args, *, stdin=None, stderr=None, shell=False, universal_newlines=False)

# example (WARNING: setting `shell=True` might be a security-risk)
# In Linux/Unix
status = subprocess.check_output('cp source.txt destination.txt', shell=True)

# In Windows
status = subprocess.check_output('copy source.txt destination.txt', shell=True)

---

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)

Use

open(destination, 'wb').write(open(source, 'rb').read())

以读取模式打开源文件，以写入模式写入目标文件。
