I have tried with this: import copy

<a lot of code> copy(file_reposit, new_fnreposit) </a lot of code>

I get this error:

Zope Error

Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.

Error Type: TypeError Error Value: call of non-function (type module)

If I don't use the import copy Zope just returns an error saying that copy isn't defined.

How do I then make a copy of a file ???

is this an external method? wonder if copy is allowed in Python Script! hmm... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo! Messenger http://phonecard.yahoo.com/

First of all, "copy" copies objects, not files. But even if it did what you want, you have to call copy(), the function, within copy, the module: import copy copy.copy(...) or, from copy import copy copy(...) In other words, the function name "copy" is independent of the module name "copy" - they don;t have to be the same but here by coincidence they are. However, the "shutil" library module does have a file copy function, copyfile (src, dst) If you want to copy unix permissions, etc,. you can then do copymode (src, dst) I don't know if the Zope python scriping environment allows this to execute; you may need to call it from an external method. Cheers, Tom P [Gitte Wange] The problem is very simple - I need to make a copy of a file in the filesystem in a pythhon module.
