Add `pathlib.Path.copytree()` method, which recursively copies one directory to another. This differs from `shutil.copytree()` in the following respects: 1. Our method has a *follow_symlinks* argument, whereas shutil's has a *symlinks* argument with an inverted meaning. 2. Our method lacks something like a *copy_function* argument. It always uses `Path.copy()` to copy files. 3. Our method lacks something like a *ignore_dangling_symlinks* argument. Instead, users can filter out danging symlinks with *ignore*, or ignore exceptions with *on_error* 4. Our *ignore* argument is a callable that accepts a single path object, whereas shutil's accepts a path and a list of child filenames. 5. We add an *on_error* argument, which is a callable that accepts an `OSError` instance. (`Path.walk()` also accepts such a callable). Co-authored-by: Nice Zombies <nineteendo19d0@gmail.com> |
