Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv8943

Modified Files: libcopy.tex Log Message: Remove list of pickle protocol names used by the copy module; there are enough subtleties to pickling that we don't want misunderstanding to spread because we don't provide all the information twice.

Classes can use the same interfaces to control copying that they use ! to control pickling: they can define methods called ! \method{getinitargs()}, \method{getstate()} and ! \method{setstate()}. See the description of module \refmodule{pickle}\refstmodindex{pickle} for information on these methods. The \module{copy} module does not use the \refmodule[copyreg]{copy_reg} registration module.
