Copying files can be done using the shutil
module in Python. To copy a file, you can use the shutil.copyfile()
method. This method takes two parameters: src
and dst
. src
is the source file, and dst
is the destination file.
import shutil shutil.copyfile(src, dst)
The destination file must be writable, otherwise an IOError
exception will be raised. If the destination file already exists, it will be replaced.
It is important to note that special files such as character or block devices and pipes cannot be copied with this method. If you are using os.path
operations, use copy
rather than copyfile
, as copyfile
will only accept strings.
