I made another draft based on a single callable argument to try out: http://bugs.python.org/file10073/shutil.copytree.filtering.patch The callable takes the src directory + its content as a list, and returns filter eligible for exclusion That makes me wonder, like Alexander said on the bug tracker: In the glob-style patterns callable, do we want to deal with absolute paths ?
