Content 
At least in Python 2.4 shutil.copy2() not only copies content and 
access times of a files like stated in the documentation but also the 
access bits.

That behaviour I would not expect because in other functions from 
shutil it is explicitly stated if the access bits are copied.

In fact I used
    shutil.copy2(src, dest)
    shutil.copystat(src, dest)
up to now. What does not work if the read-only attribute is set and 
what is completely nonsense after having a look into the implementation.
