In Python, you can copy the files using
import os import shutil import subprocess
1) Copying files using shutil
module
shutil.copyfile
signature
shutil.copyfile(src_file, dest_file, *, follow_symlinks=True) # example shutil.copyfile('source.txt', 'destination.txt')
shutil.copy
signature
shutil.copy(src_file, dest_file, *, follow_symlinks=True) # example shutil.copy('source.txt', 'destination.txt')
shutil.copy2
signature
shutil.copy2(src_file, dest_file, *, follow_symlinks=True) # example shutil.copy2('source.txt', 'destination.txt')
shutil.copyfileobj
signature
shutil.copyfileobj(src_file_object, dest_file_object[, length]) # example file_src = 'source.txt' f_src = open(file_src, 'rb') file_dest = 'destination.txt' f_dest = open(file_dest, 'wb') shutil.copyfileobj(f_src, f_dest)
2) Copying files using os
module
os.popen
signature
os.popen(cmd[, mode[, bufsize]]) # example # In Unix/Linux os.popen('cp source.txt destination.txt') # In Windows os.popen('copy source.txt destination.txt')
os.system
signature
os.system(command) # In Linux/Unix os.system('cp source.txt destination.txt') # In Windows os.system('copy source.txt destination.txt')
3) Copying files using subprocess
module
subprocess.call
signature
subprocess.call(args, *, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, shell=False) # example (WARNING: setting `shell=True` might be a security-risk) # In Linux/Unix status = subprocess.call('cp source.txt destination.txt', shell=True) # In Windows status = subprocess.call('copy source.txt destination.txt', shell=True)
subprocess.check_output
signature
subprocess.check_output(args, *, stdin=None, stderr=None, shell=False, universal_newlines=False) # example (WARNING: setting `shell=True` might be a security-risk) # In Linux/Unix status = subprocess.check_output('cp source.txt destination.txt', shell=True) # In Windows status = subprocess.check_output('copy source.txt destination.txt', shell=True)
