-This example is the implementation of the :func:`copytree` function, described
-above, with the docstring omitted. It demonstrates many of the other functions
-provided by this module. ::

- def copytree(src, dst, symlinks=False):
- names = os.listdir(src)
- os.makedirs(dst)
- errors = []
- for name in names:

- try:
- if symlinks and os.path.islink(srcname):
- linkto = os.readlink(srcname)
- os.symlink(linkto, dstname)
- elif os.path.isdir(srcname):
- copytree(srcname, dstname, symlinks)
- else:
- copy2(srcname, dstname)
- # XXX What about devices, sockets etc.?
- except OSError as why:
- errors.append((srcname, dstname, str(why)))
- # catch the Error from the recursive copytree so that we can
- # continue with other files
- except Error as err:
- errors.extend(err.args[0])
- try:
- copystat(src, dst)
- except OSError as why:
- # can't copy file access times on Windows

- errors.extend((src, dst, str(why)))
- if errors:
- raise Error(errors)
