I'm looking for a Python (2.7) equivalent to the Unix "cp" command.
Since the equivalents of "rm" and "mkdir" are in the os module, I
figured I look there. I haven't found anything in the documentation.
I am also looking through the Python source code in os.py and its
child, posixfile.py.
cp is not a system command, it's a shell command. Why not just use the
incredibly simple and portable
>>>open("outfile", "w").write(open("infile").read())
put it into a method if you find that too much to type:
def cp(infile, outfile):
open(outfile, "w").write(open(infile).read())
