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. |

Do you mean the dst path has a trailing slash, but the directory doesn't exist? shutil.copy doesn't check for a trailing slash, so it attempts to open dst as a regular file. On Linux, and probably most POSIX systems, this results in an EISDIR (is a directory) error. On Windows the error is ERROR_INVALID_NAME, which the CRT maps to EINVAL (invalid argument). |
