Yes. The worst way you could imagine.
Why not the much much better
from subprocess
subprocess.call(['cp', 'src', 'sink'])
?
Then you can call it with (really) arbitrary file names:
def call_cp(from, to):
 from subprocess
 subprocess.call(['cp', '--', from, to])
Try that with os.system() and from="That's my file"...
