Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk> added the comment: There are several disadvantages to doing deepcopy:
* identity checks now fail * deep copying is slow * deep copying doesn't work on arbitrary objects So deep copying by default isn't a good idea. This particular case is mentioned in the docs, with an example of a deep-copying mock if you need one. ---------- resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32632> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
