Ah, my mistake, I missed the [:] after the source argument that was taking a copy... which brings up the question, how many other people would miss it?
Too many. This is why I greatly prefer
list(lst)
to
lst[:]
It's also clearer to me. Do I really want a "slice" of the list? No, I want a list copy of the list...
