Do you mean files marked in-use by the OS, like DLLs used by an open
application?
There shouldn't be anything preventing you from copying in-use files, or
even read-only files if that's what you meant:
import shutil
shutil.copy('C:\\my_application\\test.dll',
'C:\\new_folder\\test.dll')
Although you can't move or delete an in-use file, AFAIK.
