I almost never use them either, maybe also in many cases you could avoid using them... When for example you use them? I noticed some time ago in a program that needed speed that deepcopy in particular is incredibly slow, but I guess is normal since it has to copy every bit of the data structure. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
