Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me, but it still seems
inconsistent to me.
I did a test with the functions copy, copy2, move, os.rename, copyfile, both on
the same filesystem and another filesystem, and the result is:
Same filesystem:
shutil.copy: Inherit
shutil.copy2: Inherit
shutil.move: Original
os.rename: Original
shutil.copyfile: Inherit
Different filesystem:
shutil.copy: Inherit
shutil.copy2: Inherit
shutil.move: Inherit
os.rename: Inherit
shutil.copyfile: Inherit
On the same system, the result will differ if you move the file to a different
location on the same filesystem, or if you move it to another filesystem.
But still, I'm happy. I'll just use copy/copy2 and then delete the original
file afterwards :)
