Copying Files

[Mike C. Fletcher]

Using a function is normally refered to as "calling", rather than 
implementing (writing/creating).  This should work:

PythonWin 2.2.3 (#42, May 30 2003, 18:12:08) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.
Portions Copyright 1994-2001 Mark Hammond (mhammond at skippinet.com.au) - 
see 'Help/About PythonWin' for further copyright information.
 >>> import shutil
 >>> shutil.copyfile( 'p:\\temp\\a.bmp', 'p:\\temp\\chars\\a.bmp' )
 >>>

Note the use of strings, and escaping of \ characters within those strings.

HTH,
Mike
