Ram Rachum <cool...@cool-rr.com> added the comment: (I see some time has passed since the last message. I'm assuming the issue wasn't fixed, correct me if I'm wrong.)
Here's a use case for using deepcopy: I'm developing a simulations framework called GarlicSim, all Python. You can see a short video here: http://garlicsim.org/brief_introduction.html The program handles world states in simulated worlds. Some simpacks deepcopy the existing world state to generate the next world state. This bug is currently preventing me from writing simpacks whose world states reference instance methods, which is a severe limitation for me. I think this issue should be bumped in priority. Also, in the mean time, a more informative error message should be given (Like "deepcopy can't handle instance methods."), instead of the current cryptic one. ---------- nosy: +cool-RR _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1515> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
