how to deepcopy a slice object?

[Alexandre Guimond]

Hi all,

i'm trying to deepcopy a slice object but i get the following error.
Does anyone know a workaround?

ActivePython 2.4.3 Build 12 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
Python 2.4.3 (#69, Apr 11 2006, 15:32:42) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]
on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import copy
>>> copy.deepcopy( slice( 1, 10, 2 ) )
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\copy.py", line 204, in deepcopy
    y = _reconstruct(x, rv, 1, memo)
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\copy.py", line 336, in _reconstruct
    y = callable(*args)
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\copy_reg.py", line 92, in
__newobj__
    return cls.__new__(cls, *args)
TypeError: slice expected at least 1 arguments, got 0

thx for any help.
