R. David Murray added the comment: You have a 'copy.py' module in your python path, as is evidenced by the filename in your traceback, which tarfile is importing instead of the real copy module, and your copy.py is therefore trying to use shutil before it is completely imported, thus the error. So this is indeed a local problem on your machine.
