I mean writeonly, hidden, system and so on attributes

I use windows, but if possible, is there any method to do so in a
crossplatfrom way?

thanks

I can't check, but shutil.copy2() may do what you want.

You may check to see several possibilities

Probably the shutil module might be appropriate for simple usecases.

In what way doesn't it work?

If the names contain spaces then you need to quote them:

os.system('xcopy /s "%s" "%s"' % (dirname1, dirname2))

(It's easier to always quote them.)

If the destination doesn't exist then you need to add the "/i" flag:

os.system('xcopy /s /i "%s" "%s"' % (dirname1, dirname2))

If you're using slashes then there's no need to double them. Also, you
don't need to end the folder names with slashes or backslashes (except
for root folders). That's what it doesn't like, apparently.

source = "C:/Production"
dest = "D:/Production"

os.system('xcopy /E /I /Q "%s" "%s"' % (source, dest))
