This could be achieved at least on Windows with CopyFileEx [1] and on OSX with copyfile(3) + COPYFILE_ALL which copies ACLs (but not users/groups). These are (were, in case of CopyFileEx) exposed in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/7160/. Such a new functionality would probably deserve a separate copy3() function but it would serve OSX and Windows only. I'm not sure how things would work on other POSIX platforms.
