Copy file geodatabase using Python?

I am trying to copy fgdb from one path to another using Python.

copy(base.gdb,dest)

And got the message:

Error Info: 
[Errno 13] Permission denied:

How to fix it?

Answer

As far as a file system is concerned, a file gdb is a directory - trying to copy one as a single file will not work. Try this out:

import shutil, errno

def copyanything(src, dst):
    try:
        shutil.copytree(src, dst)
    except OSError as exc: # python >2.5
        if exc.errno == errno.ENOTDIR:
            shutil.copy(src, dst)

        else: raise
