copying a file in the python script

[Larry Bates]

If you are moving the file to another directory on the same hard
drive (e.g. same filesystem) you can use os.rename(old, new) and
the file doesn't have to be copied at all. This is more efficient.
If you are copying to another filesystem, you must use shutil.copy
and os.remove (or os.unlink).
