If "copying" does mean copy it to another file, and you are not obliged 
to use Python, this is unmatched in awk:

Apfelkiste:Tests chris$ cat kw.txt
1, 2, 3, 4
#keyword1
3, 4, 5, 6
2, 3, 4, 5
#keyword2
4, 5, 6 ,7
Apfelkiste:Tests chris$ awk '/keyword1/,/keyword2/' kw.txt
#keyword1
3, 4, 5, 6
2, 3, 4, 5
#keyword2

Consequently, awk '/keyword1/,/keyword2/' kw.txt  > kw_copy.txt

would write it out to kw_copy.txt

Beware that between the two slashes there are regexps, so if you have 
metacharacters in your keywords, you need to quote them.
