I am writing a file copying utility in Python. But I am getting some error messages when processing files with very long file paths.
I suspect Python has some limitations when handling very long file paths.

Many file systems don’t support long filenames, so it’s probably a limitation of the OS or your file system.
There are also OS-specific issues like API limitations (e.g. in the Windows API).
