[issue42546] copy - Allow .copy(deep=True) alongside .deepcopy() for easier usage and zen
New submission from Daniel Rose : It would be convenient and cleaner/more in line with the Python zen to allow `.copy()` to allow a `deep=True` argument, to use `.deepcopy()` in a simpler way. This is easier to read, and brings some more usefulness to `.copy()`. `.deepcopy()` would be kept for backwards compatibility. -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 382338 nosy: TheCatster priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: copy - Allow .copy(deep=True) alongside .deepcopy() for easier usage and zen type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue42546> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Daniel Rose added the comment: My apologies. I worded that wrong, I meant adding `deep=True` to `dict.copy()`. Otherwise, you're absolutely right. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue42546> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
