New submission from jack1142 <kuba.kuc...@gmail.com>:
Currently shutil.copytree will allow to copy tree only if destination directory doesn't exist. I think there could be added `exist_ok` keyword argument (defaulting to `False`), which when set to `True` would prevent function from raising `FileExistsError`. This is pretty easy to implement as `os.makedirs` command that raises this error already has `exist_ok` kwarg, which prevent function from raising that exception already. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 342645 nosy: jack1142 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Allow to use shutil.copytree for existing destination directory with optional argument type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36939> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
