Python Copy Module

Shallow and deep copy operations — copy, deepcopy. This category documents 2 Python copy module entries, and each page gives you the full syntax, the parameter list, the return value, and a runnable example. The entries include: copy.copy(), copy.deepcopy(). copy.copy() returns a shallow copy of object x. Nested objects are not copied — they are referenced. copy.deepcopy() returns a deep copy of object x (recursively copies all nested objects). Copy Module belongs to the Modules & Metadata group alongside Importlib Module, Pkgutil Module, Compileall Module, Zipapp Module. You can also search across every category from the search page, browse the complete A–Z index, or try any example in the Python playground. Python Reference documents 978+ functions, methods, and modules across 114 categories of the standard library, and every entry in this Copy Module category follows the same format — syntax first, then what it does, the parameters it accepts, what it returns, and a working code example — so once you have read one page you can read them all.
