Xref: csiph.com comp.lang.python:100249

there is shutil module, but I find it limits the user heavily. For
example, I want to move 2 directories "a/scene" and "c/scene" to "d",
but there is "scene" under d already. Then shutil.move will raise
Error, "Destination path '%s' already exists" % real_dst

So is there any module, which allow me move/copy like Windows does.
for example
useableShutil.move('a/scene', 'd', overwite=True)
