Laurent Bigonville added the comment:

SELinux would block setting the "security.selinux" attribute with EACCES not 
EPERM, so another solution could be to add errono.EACCES to the list

[issue26328] shutil._copyxattr() function shouldn't fail if setting security.selinux xattr fails

[Laurent Bigonville]

New submission from Laurent Bigonville:

Hi,

In the _copyxattr() function from the shutil module, the function throw an 
exception as soon as the copy of an attribute is failing.

But setting the "security.selinux" xattr will likely fail if selinux is 
enforcing more.

If this function is supposed to behave like cp -a, failing to set the 
security.selinux xattr shouldn't be fatal
