New submission from Csaba Makara:
If I use the distutils.dir_util.copy_tree to copy the same directory structure
multiple times to the same place (even from multiple sources) but I remove and
recreate the target_directory before each copy, the following exception accurs:
g:\_Programming>py example.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\Python34\lib\distutils\file_util.py", line 41, in _copy_file_contents
fdst = open(dst, 'wb')
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'c:\\bin\\folder_inside\
\file_inside.txt'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "example.py", line 13, in <module>
dir_util.copy_tree(source_folder2, target_folder)
File "E:\Python34\lib\distutils\dir_util.py", line 160, in copy_tree
verbose=verbose, dry_run=dry_run))
File "E:\Python34\lib\distutils\dir_util.py", line 164, in copy_tree
dry_run=dry_run)
File "E:\Python34\lib\distutils\file_util.py", line 143, in copy_file
_copy_file_contents(src, dst)
File "E:\Python34\lib\distutils\file_util.py", line 44, in _copy_file_contents
"could not create '%s': %s" % (dst, e.strerror))
distutils.errors.DistutilsFileError: could not create 'c:\bin\folder_inside\file
_inside.txt': No such file or directory
_______________________________________________________________
If the target_folder is not deleted, the problem won't appear.
The problem seems to be the handling of the inner directories. In the second
attempt the inner folders are thought to be existing, but they are not.
See the attached script.
