Fix the testsuite on Python3.8

There is a bug in Python3.8 (https://bugs.python.org/issue38688)
triggering an infinite recursion when copying a tree
in a subfolder of the current one. We're working around it
by using a list instead of an iterator, so that Python
won't "discover" the target folder as part of the source files.

This should fix #130
