copytree example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This example is the implementation of the :func:`copytree` function, described
above, with the docstring omitted. It demonstrates many of the other functions
provided by this module. ::

def copytree(src, dst, symlinks=False):
names = os.listdir(src)
os.makedirs(dst)
errors = []
for name in names:
srcname = os.path.join(src, name)
dstname = os.path.join(dst, name)
try:
if symlinks and os.path.islink(srcname):
linkto = os.readlink(srcname)
os.symlink(linkto, dstname)
elif os.path.isdir(srcname):
copytree(srcname, dstname, symlinks)
else:
copy2(srcname, dstname)
# XXX What about devices, sockets etc.?
except OSError as why:
errors.append((srcname, dstname, str(why)))
# catch the Error from the recursive copytree so that we can
# continue with other files
except Error as err:
errors.extend(err.args[0])
try:
copystat(src, dst)
except OSError as why:
# can't copy file access times on Windows
if why.winerror is None:
errors.extend((src, dst, str(why)))
if errors:
raise Error(errors)
