Here's an example of attempting to deepcopy a class:

Weird. I get (Python 2.3.4):
>>> class X: pass ... >>> import copy >>> X is copy.deepcopy(X) True
However:
>>> class Foo: ... def bar(self, x, y, z): pass ... >>> import copy >>> FooCopy = copy.deepcopy(Foo) >>> FooCopy <class __main__.Foo at 0x0142FE70> >>> Foo <class __main__.Foo at 0x0142FE70>
It appears it doesn't copy the class at all, you just get the same class back.
