New submission from Nick Evans:
Python 3.5.0 shutil.copy2 doesn't raise PermissionError when it does not have
permission to copy a file (tested on Windows 7):
C:\Users\X\Desktop>C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\python.exe
Python 3.5.0 (v3.5.0:374f501f4567, Sep 13 2015, 02:16:59) [MSC v.1900 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.copy2("test.txt", "/")
'/test.txt'
>>> shutil.copy2("test.txt", "C:\\")
'C:\\test.txt'
NB: The file is not copied.
Python 3.4.3 does raise PermissionError:
C:\Users\X\Desktop>C:\Python34\python.exe
Python 3.4.3 (v3.4.3:9b73f1c3e601, Feb 24 2015, 22:44:40) [MSC v.1600 64 bit
(AMD64)] on win32
