Little improvement with pathlib.

import shutil
from pathlib import Path

source = "~/.wine"
# https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.Path.glob
source = Path(source).expanduser().glob('**/*.exe')
destination   = Path("~/BACKUP/").expanduser()

for source_file in source:
    shutil.copy2(source_file , destination)
    print(f'{source_file.name:40} --> {destination}')
    # https://pyformat.info/

print( "Finish" )
