[Zope-dev] Cloning Object in Python

Sorry, it's a bit off topic. Is there any standard Python way to clone/copy an object ? I usually create a methods that create a new object and assign it with the current value of the 'copied' object. NewObject = OldObject.Copy This works although it gets a bit nasty with Inheritance, and I wouldn't be able to 'clone' any run time attributes added to the object. dody
