In the 3.8.5 documentation for shutil.copy it says that "src and dst should be strings". However, the implementation doesn't seem to have any problem with path objects.

copy uses copyfile and copymode. Both were updated to support path-like objects in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/15141 . It makes sense to update copy's documentation too.
