Hi,
There are three ways to (shallow)copy a list l I'm aware of: l2=list(l) l2=l[:] l2.copy.copy(l)
Are there any differences? Are there more (reasonable) ways?
I think the first is the most pythonic, second looks more like this other
p-language and third requires an import, so I would prefer the first.
Do you agree?

The way I'd do it is
from copy import copy
l2 = copy(l1)
or
from copy import deepcopy
l2 = deepcopy(l1)
I don't know what the difference is, if any, but I think this way is more
readable.

They all do slightly different things.
I think this is a fairly accurate description of what each of these does: l2 = list(l)
This will copy any iterable object and will produce a new, distinct list as
a result.
l2=l[:]
This will copy a sequence, and will return an object of the same type as
the original. If the original is immutable, then it may simply return the
original object and not bother with making a copy.
l2=copy.copy(l)
This will copy any object whether or not it is a sequence, but it may still
return the original object for immutables.
l2=copy.deepcop y(l)
This will make a deep copy of an object. It only returns the original
object for immutables if any objects they contain are also immutable
(including their contents).

I would like to save time copying the same file
(>6 GByte) to various different target storage
media connected to the system via USB.
Is there a (Python or other) tool able to help me
to do this, so that I don't need to copy the
source file first to the first media, then to the
second, etc.?

Hi,
The following code produced a core-dump:
PropertyParser::PropertyParser(list<HashMap> &p_list)
{
l_conf_data.clear();
cout << "beginning copy.. size: " << p_list.size() << endl;
copy(p_list.begin(), p_list.end(), l_conf_data.begin());
cout << "finished copy..." << endl;

I try to build my own version of printf which just passes all
arguments to the original printf. As long as I keep it with the single
argument version everything is fine. But their is also a version which
uses the "..." as the last parameter how can I pass them to the
orignal printf ?
void myprintf(char *txt, ...)
printf(txt, ???????);

List<List<T>a=param;
List<List<T>b=a;
If I change b, then a is get changed. I want another copy of a, that is
completely independent of a. I used double-nested for loop to copy each
element manually. Is there any more efficent way to do that? Something
like,
List<List<T>b=CreateClone(a);
Thanks.

Hi,
Assume that right and left are multiple select elements. It's about the
following line :
right.options=left.options;
It copies the content of left.options into right.options, but
*removes* the content of the first one !

I wrote a simple allocator "myAlloc" under the g++ 3.2.3. When it is
used by Vector, it works well. But when it is used by List, the codes
have errors when compling. the error message is:
"no matching function for call to myAlloc<std::_List_node<int>
Then I added the following copy constructor to "myAlloc", now it works
well.
"template <typename U>
myAlloc(const myAlloc<U>&) {}"

I'd try here. I have a class Graph, which has a std::list<Nodeas a

pointers to represent various forms of data in the nodes of graphs,
along with pointers to neighboring nodes. This necessitates a deep
copy that iterators over the list. My copy constructor looks like:

Hi Everyone,
It is well known that the input parameter which is passed to the
copy constructor is passed as reference and not as as object. Because
passing an object is as good as making another copy which in itself
needs a copy constructor.
However i was wondering why can't the existing object be passed as
a pointer instead of a reference to the copy constructor which creates
a new object.

Well I have looked into this and it seems that using the list
comprehension is faster, which is reasonable since generators require
iteration and stop iteration and what not.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
