Sure, you can use try/except but it would be nice if the "shutil.copyfile" function supports the same files. If I have many files (more thousand), I don't want to check them with a try/except. Furthermore if I want to cover the unexpected exceptions as well I need to use nested try/except (I guess it's not the most elegant way). Eg.: try: shutil.copyfile("test.txt", "test.txt") except SameFileError: pass except Exception as unexpected_exception: raise unexpected_exception ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43165> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
