bpo-14112: Allow beginners to explore shallowness in greater depth ;-) (GH-15465) 2019-08-24 11:15:44 -07:00
Stephan Hoyer 0200928e8d Include memo in the documented signature of copy.deepcopy()
* Include memo in the documented signature of copy.deepcopy()

The memo argument is mentioned lower on the doc page under writing a
`__deepcopy__` method, but is not included in the documented function signature.
This makes it easy to miss, and can lead to incorrect/buggy implementations of
`__deepcopy__` -- which is exatly what just happpend to me!

Sanyam Khurana 19e0494256 bpo-29506: Clarify deep copy note in copy module
The reference to administrative data was confusing to readers,
so this simplifies the note to explain that deep copying may copy
more then you intended, such as data that you expected to be
shared between copies.
