I'm on win2000. The file is on a CD I burned, and I wanted to copy it to 
  a file name that doesn't have any quotation marks in it. The problem 
is that I can't reference the file to begin with. The command:

    shutil.copy2(myfile,r'D:\foo.ogg')

can't use the string held in myfile, although os.listdir('directory on 
CD') contains it as the first entry.

It would be nice if I could referene the file in a way that would not 
cause the copy command to fail.
