At least in Python 2.4 shutil.copy2() not only copies content and access times of a files like stated in the documentation but also the access bits. That behaviour I would not expect because in other functions from shutil it is explicitly stated if the access bits are copied. In fact I used shutil.copy2(src, dest) shutil.copystat(src, dest) up to now. What does not work if the read-only attribute is set and what is completely nonsense after having a look into the implementation.
