I'm pretty happy that I can copy variables and their value from one

b.__dict__.update(a.__dict__)
The reason I'm posting this is to ask what to watch out for when doing
this. I've seen vague warnings that I don't really understand, and I'm
hoping someone can enlighten me.
I guess the summary is is "it does *exactly* what an Python
experienced programmer would expect it to, so if things break you
get to keep both pieces" (which even nicely summarizes Steven's
sub-thread about objects lacking __dict__). Based on your
reactions to the replies, I'd say you're sufficiently experienced
in Python to have your expectations align with Python reality.
