https://docs.python.org/3/library/shutil.html#shutil.copy

The link to "copy()" in the description seems to be pointing to the copy module, but I suppose it was meant to point at shutil.copy.

See also issue21818. I suspect there are other incorrect references.

Thanks all :)
I fixed the two references to copy() in shutil docs, and backported to 3.5 and 3.6.
Since this particular issue is fixed, I'm closing this. If people find other incorrect references, they can open another ticket.
