What's the Pythonic standard on multiple returns from a function?
There is no standard.
Multiple returns are quite common but they come with all the usual
caveats for using them, they can introduce complexity and hard
to find bugs so use them sensibly.

Hmm, so it seems a lot of trouble for a few hardcoded tests I could

The point is that you should write the doc strings before you write the

lead to a better overall structure.

As for the shutil.copy() function, how complex can it be? It takes two

Ah, it's like an anonymous function in jQuery,
That's the idea but Python lambdas are a bit crippled
so its really an anonymous expression... :-(
