[issue1355826] shutil.move() does not preserve ownership

Tarek Ziadé  added the comment:

That's because there's no simple, portable way to copy all metadata.

If you need to copy all of them you will need to use OS-specific APIs

[Armin Ronacher]

Armin Ronacher  added the comment:

While this is surprising, this is documented behavior:

"If the destination is on the current filesystem, then simply use
rename. Otherwise, copy src (with copy2()) to the dst and then remove src."

And copy2() uses copystat() and does not copy "contents, owner, and group".
