Hi, I am new to Python and OO programming. I need to copy a Python object (of a class I made myself). new_obj = old_object doesn't seem to work since apparently new_obj is then a referrence to old_obj.
I found out that there is a module called 'copy' that allows you to do a shallow or a deep copy. I need a deep copy since my object contains dicts to other objects that also need to be copied. However, when I do new_object = copy.deepcopy(old_object) I get a series of errors. The most important one: " TypeError: object.__new__(PySwigObject) is not safe, use PySwigObject.__new__() " So any help much appreciated. With kind regards, Kris I am using Python 2.4 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
