  Well then, I'd think about using "shutil", e.g., "shutil.copy".
  Check it out in "The Python Library Reference"; it's 11.10.1 in
  release 3.13.0a0.

  Community or no community, in Python, you can have:

def f( s, S ):
    return 2*s+S

  . Should the docs then say, "returns 2*S+S"?

  Thanks, you too!

  On one hand, many people seem to prefer websites for discussions

  someone else would have.
