question about copy vs deepcopy used in multithreaded context:
suppose the following program below:
the original dictionary is modified after the thread is started, the
thread works on a copied and deepcopied version of the original
dictionary. Is the dictionary named "originalcopy" isolated from
changes in original in multithreaded context?
The program reports no errors but I want to be really sure about this
For your simple test dictionary, copy and deepcopy behaves
identically. If you wish, you should test using values that are
containers themselves.
With or without threads, modifying original (with the current
contents) would never modify originalcopy neither originaldeepcopy,
so you aren't testing anything here.
Try rewriting your test.
