I would not think that a generic deepcopy would work for all cases. An

I always think that a well designed object should have a copyme method. :=)
take a look at the __setstate__ and __getstate__ documentation of copy (e.g. pickle) -- with them you can customize the copying task. Anyway, they work only on instance but not on class objects :(
