What will be the python equivalent of

File f1 = new File("C:\\music.mp3");
File f2 = new File("C:\\copied_file.mp3");
FileImageInputStream fileImageInputStream = new FileImageInputStream(f1);
FileImageOutputStream fileImageOutputStream = new FileImageOutputStream(f2);
int k = 0;
while(true){
    System.out.println("iteration:"+k++);
    if(f1.length()<f2.length())
    fileImageOutputStream.write(fileImageInputStream.read());
    else break;
}

Using shutil is the easiest way (here with copyfile, but you might want to look at the documentation to compare it with the other copy___ functions, depending on what you want to copy (only the binary data, the permissions, ...)

import shutil
shutil.copyfile('music.mp3', 'copied_file.mp3')

For the record, when the file is small (ie it can be loaded in memory and streams are not required), it's even easier:

with open('music.mp3', 'rb') as f1:
    with open('copied_file.mp3', 'wb') as f2:
        f2.write(f1.read())

Is there a way to do this byte by byte. Suppose my file has to be of 500 bytes. I want first 250 bytes to be copied from "akon.mp3" and the next 250 bytes from "Coldplay.mp3". Is there a way to do this?
