I noticed a problem in shutil.copytree :

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 (IOError, os.error), why:
  errors.append((srcname, dstname, why))

'why' isn't displayed in tuple, maybe this line would
be better for debug :
  "errors.append((srcname, dstname, why.strerror))"

then, it will display something (for example:
'permission denied').

From rev. 45785, the line reads errors.append((srcname,
dstname, str(why)))

This way, you get the full information out of the
IOError/OSError.
