member by member copy???

You could create a separate instance, or provide a copy
function as part of the class.

>>> a = A('bragi')
>>> b = A('')
>>> b.name = a.name
>>> b.name
'bragi'
>>> a.name = 'stini'
>>> b.name
'bragi'
>>> 


>>> class A:
	def __init__(self,name):
		self.name = name
	def copy(self):
		retval = A(self.name)
		# other copy functions
		return retval

	
>>> a = A('bragi')
>>> b = a.copy()
>>> b.name
'bragi'
>>> a.name = 'stini'
>>> b.name
'bragi'
>>>
