| The docstring of shutil.copy2 says the following: Copy data and all stat info ("cp -p src dst"). This can be misleading as it is not the same as 'cp -p', as it does not copy the file owner (uid and gid). That would need to have a chown() call to be made, which is currently not called unavailable. I would like to have the documentation fixed by adding that it does not copies file owner and group. | ||
