I would guess the original poster actually wanted to copy a data structure which includes a slice object somewhere within it. That is a perfectly reasonable albeit somewhat unusual thing to want, however it doesn't work. Similarly in Python 2.4 you cannot deepcopy functions. That has been fixed in Python 2.5 but I guess nobody has tried deepcopying slices before so they haven't been fixed. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
