I vaguely remember this was asked and answered some time ago and the answer was no, even just for -a. In fact, the python shutil module documentation starts with a warning to that effect. The --reflink stuff would be another thing altogether. More accurately, currently the only way would be to duplicate this functionality of cp in python. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
