The function "os.system

flashing a DOS command window for half a second. So my question is: How
can one copy files on the OS level?
Under a Windows system the built in command, copy, is a pile of crap
and xcopy is not much fun; you need to screw with it at the command
prompt to find the exact usage.
Uh... well, not because you don't know the command syntax it becomes a
pile of crap...
The formal way to copy files on the 'OS level' is by way of a system
call. I believe under Windows NT, this would be the CopyFile family;
using that through cctypes doesn't sound like fun.
It's as simple as this:
from ctypes import windll
CopyFile = windll.kernel32.CopyFileA
CopyFile("d:\\temp\\old.txt", "d:\\temp\\new.txt", True)
