[issue11989] deprecate shutil.copy2

[Giampaolo Rodola']

Giampaolo Rodola'  added the comment:

If such a thing goes in then copytree() should also be taken into account and 
expose the same parameter. That would probably be inconsistent with 
copytree()'s copy_function parameter though.

[issue11989] deprecate shutil.copy2

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:

Thanks for the report.  Could you elaborate a bit on the rational for the 
change?  Aesthetics are usually not sufficient to change things; on the other 
hand, use of simplicity is a goal.

Is is easier to remember two functions for two uses or to have one function 
with a parameter?  Are users confused by the two functions with unhelpful 
names?  These are the kinds of questions to answer before considering breaking 
everyone’s code with a deprecation and removal.

Would you be willing to raise the issue on the python-ideas mailing list to get 
feedback?  Thanks in advance.

New submission from Danijel d...@korn.shell.la:

The function name is really ugly. The attached patch introduces an optional 
parameter to shutil.copy.
