Re: No os.copy or lfs.copy?

interesting. what you mentioned are 'metadata' which
is very much OS dependent(NTFS has ACL, linux has
similar thing) that must be done in OS dependent way
like as you said os.execute().

In fact, even with os.execute('cp ...'), I am not sure
it can handle all the metadata.
