Equivalent of copyTo in Python OpenCV bindings?

Question

OpenCV has the copyTo function, which enables copying a masked area from one Mat to another.

Answer 1

Note sure if this is exactly what you want, but for copying with masks in Python, I would go with cv2.bitwise_

new_image = cv2.bitwise_and(old_image,binary_mask)
