Thanks for your answer. Since perfomances are not an issue in my case I
think I'd stay with copy.copy(). In this way I'm not required to know
in advance the object type, and I can implement a __deepcopy__ method
for my own classes as follows:
>>> def __deepcopy__(self, memo = {}):
new = self.__class__.__new__(self.__class__)
memo[id(self)] = new
for key, val in self.__dict__.iteritems():
try:
setattr(new, key, copy.deepcopy(val, memo))
except TypeError:
setattr(new, key, copy.copy(val))
return new
The method is quite general (at least I hope so), and can be easily
inherited by all the subclasses without any major change. Is that
right? Am I missing something here? Any better way to implement this?
Thanks again,
Andrea
