<mailto:python-dev at python.org>Hello togehter,

I get an error while doing a deep copy of an "event". An event is an object, with has a lot of dict["attr"] = Event("SAMPLE") OTHER Events added to the object (no self refence) and store additional dict["attr2"] = 2 informations.

deep copy is failing with no proper error message.

nevent = copy.deepcopy(event);

File "/net/software_cms/slc4_ia32_gcc345/external/python/2.4.2-CMS3q/lib/python2.4/copy.py", line 174, in deepcopy y = copier(x, memo) File "/net/software_cms/slc4_ia32_gcc345/external/python/2.4.2-CMS3q/lib/python2.4/copy.py", line 305, in _deepcopy_inst state = deepcopy(state, memo) File "/net/software_cms/slc4_ia32_gcc345/external/python/2.4.2-CMS3q/lib/python2.4/copy.py", line 174, in deepcopy y = copier(x, memo) File "/net/software_cms/slc4_ia32_gcc345/external/python/2.4.2-CMS3q/lib/python2.4/copy.py", line 268, in _deepcopy_dict y[deepcopy(key, memo)] = deepcopy(value, memo) File "/net/software_cms/slc4_ia32_gcc345/external/python/2.4.2-CMS3q/lib/python2.4/copy.py", line 174, in deepcopy y = copier(x, memo) File "/net/software_cms/slc4_ia32_gcc345/external/python/2.4.2-CMS3q/lib/python2.4/copy.py", line 241, in _deepcopy_list y.append(deepcopy(a, memo)) File "/net/software_cms/slc4_ia32_gcc345/external/python/2.4.2-CMS3q/lib/python2.4/copy.py", line 174, in deepcopy y = copier(x, memo) File "/net/software_cms/slc4_ia32_gcc345/external/python/2.4.2-CMS3q/lib/python2.4/copy.py", line 241, in _deepcopy_list y.append(deepcopy(a, memo)) File "/net/software_cms/slc4_ia32_gcc345/external/python/2.4.2-CMS3q/lib/python2.4/copy.py", line 185, in deepcopy y = copier(x, memo) TypeError: deepcopy() takes no arguments (1 given
