[Python] Copy file with pathlib in Python

I try to copy a file with pathlib

import pathlib
import shutil

my_file=pathlib.Path('/etc/hosts')
to_file=pathlib.Path('/tmp/foo')
shutil.copy(my_file, to_file)


I get this exception:

/home/foo_egs_d/bin/python /home/foo_egs_d/src/test-pathlib-copy.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
