title: Disable copying file attributes?
body: <p>I'm working with a file system mounted on linux where <code>cp -a</code> always fails as not permitted. Is there a way to disable <code>shutil.copystat</code> and <code>shutil.copymode</code> in Python?</p>
  <p>I have the below workaround but it's a bit ridiculous.</p>
  <pre><code>import shutil
  def nothin(*args, **kwargs):
      return
  
  
  shutil.copymode = nothin
  shutil.copystat = nothin
  </code></pre>
