Why is this disturbing? As you said, it'd be completely pointless. As to what's going on: copy.copy does not make any attempt to copy immutable types. That's all there is to it. Read the source if you want to know how this is done. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/copy.py#L111 -- Thomas Jollans -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
