[New-bugs-announce] [issue24977] shutil copy to non-existant directory

[Jake Howard]

New submission from Jake Howard:

If you try and copy a file using shutil.copy to a directory that doesnt exist, it tries to copy the file to the location of the directory, and errors as shutil can't open a directory for 'WB' access, throwing an error, that doesnt reflect the problem.
