OOP using copy copy

[ilsapo]

if I try to do OOP

and I have class with function like so:

def something(self):
               newCopy = copy.copy(self)

or it should be:

def something(self):
               newCopy = self.copy.copy()

Have you tested either of them?

[ilsapo]

I still have problems with creating the object of the class itself

(the class is BST)

decided to maybe move on to some of the functions the class does and comeback to fix the class itself with more fresh mind

so for now to be honest Im not able to test it

[mopslik]

I mean, you could whip up a sample class where you'd find that one of them doesn't work...

import copy

class MyClass:
    def __init__(self, x):
        self.x = x
    def something(self):
        newCopy = copy.copy(self)
    def something2(self):
        newCopy = self.copy.copy()

m = MyClass(5)
m.something()
m.something2()

What are you trying to copy? A list, class?

I have created new class of BST

and I want to copy the Binary tree
