I have a Python program that needs to copy files around. I could read

('copy file_name directory_name')" turns out doesn't do anything except
flashing a DOS command window for half a second. So my question is: How
can one copy files on the OS level?
This simple question would surely have been asked many times before.
Not to impose on anyone's patience I expect it can be answered between
two sips of coffee.
Thanks very much
Did you take a look at the shutil-module?

No, I didn't. There's a number of modules I know by name only and
shutils was one of them. A quick peek confirmed that it is exactly what
I am looking for. Thank you very much for the advice.
