[issue2663] shutil.copytree glob-style filtering [patch]

[Tarek Ziadé]

New submission from Tarek Ziadé <ziade.tarek at gmail.com>:

Here's a first draft of a small addon to shutil.copytree.

This patch allows excluding some folders or files from the copy, given
glob-style patterns. A callable can also be provided instead of the
patterns, for a more complex filtering.

I didn't upgrade Doc/shutil.rst yet in this patch, as this can be done
when the change will be accepted and in its final shape I guess.
