I wasn't the one who added a copy() method to other containers. I personally despise almost all uses of "copying" (including the entire copy module, both deep and shallow copy functionality). I much prefer to write e.g. list(x) over x.copy() -- when I say list(x) I know the type of the result. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22101> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
