Don't tell us what the errors are, I love guessing games!!! Let's see... is it TypeError because your class doesn't override the list.__init__ method? >>> clist1 = clist([1,2,3], str) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: list() takes at most 1 argument (2 given) Before you get to deepcopy, you actually need to have clist work correctly. Once you've done that, show us what error you get. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
