How do I copy a custom real time document with Google Drive?

I am trying to copy a realtime document that is integrated with google drive.

https://developers.google.com/google-apps/realtime/drive The docs say to use the "files" collection of the REST API but the copy method of the files collection is returning a 500 error

http = httplib2.Http()
http = credentials.authorize(http)
drive_service = build('drive', 'v2', http=http)
copied_file = {'title': 'copied file'}
drive_file = drive_service.files().copy(fileId=doc_id, body=copied_file).execute()

I tried putting my file Id on the sample drive page and it failed with a 500 internal error as well. https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/copy

Is it possible to copy a google real time document this way?

Copy does not currently work for Realtime documents unfortunately. We are working on a fix but it will be a little bit.

You can implement a psuedo-copy by creating a new file and using the import/export APIs to copy over the document contents.
