Andrew McNamara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: One reason why this issue has been having less impact is that a bug in some versions of the copy.py code meant it was ignoring the __deepcopy__ stubs and using the pickle logic to copy _sre objects - so, if you run the right python version, compiled regular expressions and match objects deepcopy without problems.
On the 2.4 branch (release24-maint), changeset 38430 introduced the bug that prevents the class __deepcopy__ exception-raising stubs being found. As an aside, I don't understand why the _sre objects should be pickleable, but not deepcopy-able. ---------- nosy: +andrewmcnamara versions: +Python 2.7 -Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue416670> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
