I have been reading through the "python library reference" with no luck finding the module needed to copy a file. Any help would be appreciated.

the shutil module seems to be what I needed.
shutil.copy(file,destination)

For file copy shutil.copy2( sourcefile, destinationfile)
is preferred, since it retains the last access time and last modification time of the file.
