copy with new time stamp - leveex - Mar-29-2020

Hi,

why does shutil.copyfile as well as os.util copy files and create new timestamp on mac and Linux, but not on windows.
I have created some kind of app that needs to change the file with another one (Image.png with transparet.png) and have to change timestamp as well.
And I have created that on mac and tested on Linux, it's working as it should, but windows is making me a problem because it does not change the modification date.
Am I missing something?

shutil.copy() is the answer for me... if someone else stuck as me... :)
