IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: while copying a file

[compmonk]

When we need to copy a file to a directory and I use src.copy(dst) I get a IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory error from shutil.copyfile. This means I cannot do a simple operation of coping a file to another directory using the Path object, which can be done by using shutil.copy.

Why don't we use shutil.copy instead of shutil.copyfile so the basic copy operation too can be executed ?
