(zc.copy not zope.copy)

You would either use zc.copy.CopyPersistent, or you would determine  
that you needed a fancier version that you write yourself.  If your  
persistent objects did not have sub-persistent objects, and the  
__parent__ were a Persistent instance, it would be pretty easy.  If  
they did, there would be harder questions.

Glad you came up with a solution.
