Files on NTFS 5 volumes can contain multiple data streams. Copyfile currently just reads the default unnamed stream, losing document summary information and any named streams that have been added to the file. |

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 copyfile indeed fails to copy a lot of attributes of the file, e.g. the file owner and group are not copied, and neither are the ACLs. Unfortunately, it is not possible to implement a full copy; shutil.copyfile has always only copied the file contents. To implement a full copy, more Win32 would need to be exposed. Use the CopyFile function from the Win32 extensions for a full copy. Reclassifying this as a documentation bug: the documentation should mention that this only copies the direct file contents. |
