Are you gettting the error that says "Cannot create a directory when its already present"? I am not sure how much silly is this, but all i did was to insert a single line into copytree module: I changed :

    names = os.listdir(src)
    os.makedirs(dst)

into:

def copytree(src, dst, symlinks=False):
    names = os.listdir(src)
    if (os.path.isdir(dst)==False):
        os.makedirs(dst)       

I guess i did some bluder. If so, could someone point me out that? Sorry, i am very new to python :P
