[Python] Filter directory when using shutil.copytree?

Is there a way I can filter a directory by using the absolute path to it?

shutil.copytree(directory,
target_dir,
ignore = shutil.ignore_patterns("/Full/Path/To/aDir/Common"))


This doesn't seem to work when trying to filter the "Common" Directory located under "aDir". If I do this:

shutil.copytree(directory,
target_dir,
ignore = shutil.ignore_patterns("Common"))


It works, but every directory called Common will be filtered in that "tree", which is not what I want.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks.
