This looks like a good direction to go. Maybe something like:
>>> import os
>>> import subprocess
>>>
>>> p1 = os.path.expanduser('~/Desktop/IN/Test/')
>>> p2 = os.path.expanduser('~/Desktop/OUT/Test/')
>>>
>>> cmd = 'ditto -vV "' + p1 + '" "' + p2 + '"'
>>>
>>> v = subprocess.check_output(cmd, shell=True)
>>> Copying /Users/jay/Desktop/IN/Test/
