How do I copy and move another folder or dir in python?

Question

I want to copy and move (or paste) the file into folder like backup program. But I don't know what to do :( I tried shutil.copy2(filename, example) but I couldn't use it on another environment because I didn't know A.

import os 
import shutil 
from tkinter import *
from filedialog import *

def func_open() :
    global filename
    filename = askopenfilename(parent = window, filetypes = (("SMI", "*.smi"), ("All", "*")))
    A = os.path.basename(filename)

I used tkinter function. and func_open is works by pressing button.
