Between
os.popen("cp /path1/newfile /path2/oldfile")
and
open("/path1/newfile","w").write(open("/path2/oldfile","r").read())
Which, if either, is the "preferred" method of copying a file? The second
will raise an IOError if it fails. I have no clue how to test the first.
Are there other and/or better methods of copying a file?
