Hi,
I need to copy an instance of a class, where one of the items in the original
is a cStringIO.StringO object.
I do not need the cStringIO.StringO in the target object.
The target instance is to be pickled.
Googling made me devise the following plan: do a deepcopy from the original to
the target, and then delete the cStringIO.StringO object from the target.
However, trying to use copy.deepcopy produced: TypeError:
object.__new__(cStringIO.StringO) is not safe, use cStringIO.StringO.__new__()
Is there a way to create a copy of the instance, sans the cStringIO.StringO ?
If I find no elegant way to do that, I thought of creating a "blank" target
instance; then iterating over the __dict__ of the original, and manually copy
the items to the target (while not copying the cStringIO.StringO to the target).
Can you suggest a better way ?
Thanks,
Ron.
