OK I see that now. For what it's worth, I tested the code on win2000,
XP, and ubuntu using the shutil.move command on files and folders (so
that it uses either copy2 or copytree). Apart from the original bug in
ubuntu (copy from ext3 to ntfs-3g) it is fine.
I've made

sorry, should have clarified, I tested with this code:
copy2
try:
copystat(src, dst)
except OSError, err:
if WindowsError is not None and isinstance(err, WindowsError):
pass
else:
raise
copytree
try:
copystat(src, dst)
except OSError

Sorry about that. Here is the output from $ svn diff
I've also made modifications to allow to ignore the permission errors
(defaults to no) - should I post here or file new report?

I agree, the best would be to have the option of ignoring errors.
However, I think there should be a way to differentiate between errors
that prevent a file from being copied, and one that only affects
permissions.

I must respectfully disagree. This bug also occurs during the copytree
command, so it can apply to more than one file. And if using from move
then the original file never gets deleted.
As far as working around it, it is obviously doable, however this
requires

The problem with WindowsError is that it is not included in Linux. So if
there is an exception, it fails without showing the actual error. See
here (ubuntu 7.10 default install):
try: print a
... except WindowsError:
... print 'b'
...
Traceback (most recent call

Yes, it is a sub-class of OSError. So then only catching OSError should
be sufficient? Or am I missing something?

Rather than try in copytree and try again in copy2, why not add this to
the root of the issue - copystat. Something like this?
def copystat(src, dst, ignore_permission_err=False):
Copy all stat info (mode bits, atime and mtime) from src to dst
st = os.stat(src
New submission from ianaré:
When using shutil.copy2 or copytree where the source is on a filesystem
that has octal permissions (ie ext3) and the destination is on an NTFS
partition mounted rw, the operation fails with
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted
I am attaching a version
