Perhaps the source file has an OS X resource fork or other extended attribute metadata. shutil's copy functions won't handle those. One way to see if that is the case is to examine the source file in a terminal window with: ls -l@ $ ls -l@ test.jpg -rw-r--r--@ 1 nad staff 40359 Jul 15 2009 test.jpg com.apple.FinderInfo 32 com.apple.ResourceFork 899489 -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
