Why would you want to [deep]copy a slice object?
Anyway, I don't know much about them, other than that they are
slightly unusual objects that play a very restricted role in python,
rather like the Ellipsis.
Workarounds are possible, I think, but really you almost certainly
don't need to do this.
Peace,

Here is my reason:
I have an object that contrains a 2D regular grid (matrix). In this
regular grid, I place points at regular intervals. In essence, i have
something like (my code is obviously more complex, this is just to show
what I want to do)
obj.grid = numpy.zeros( ( 100, 100 ) )
obj.grid[ obj.y1: obj.y2 : obj.ys, obj.x1 : obj.x2 : obj.xs ] =
embedded_parame ters
result = somefunc( obj.grid )
My goal was to reduce the number of elements in my obj object by
replacing y1, y2, ys, and x1, x2, xs by 2 slice objects, and then do:
obj.grid[ obj.slicey, obj.slicex ] = embedded_parame ters
But when I do this and then try to deepcopy my object, it doesn't work,
as in the example below.
Its not a big thing. I just liked the idea of having less elements in
my obj class and actually modeling my slice concept by a slice object,
specially since i'm going to 3D and 4D grid, and its somewhat annoying
to carry so many indices in my class definition.

I would guess the original poster actually wanted to copy a data structure

reasonable albeit somewhat unusual thing to want, however it doesn't work.
Similarly in Python 2.4 you cannot deepcopy functions. That has been fixed
in Python 2.5 but I guess nobody has tried deepcopying slices before so
they haven't been fixed.

Ah, so you *do* want to deepcopy slice objects.. Neat. :-)
I can't do that, but I can show you a couple of ways to deepcopy
objects that have slices as attributes.
First, if the __init__() method and its args are sufficient to recreate
your objects then you could do something like this:
class DeepCopyable0:
def __init__(self, x, y, z, a, b, c):
self.slicex = slice(x, y, z)
self.slicey = slice(a, b, c)
def __deepcopy__(se lf, memo):
# Create local vars for brevity.
sx, sy = self.slicex, self.slicey
# Create a new DeepCopyable0 instance.
return DeepCopyable0(
sx.start, sx.stop, sx.step,
sy.start, sy.stop, sy.step
)
|>d0 = DeepCopyable0(1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
|>d0.slicex, d0.slicey
(slice(1, 2, 3), slice(4, 5, 6))
|>d1 = deepcopy(d0)
|>d1.slicex, d1.slicey
(slice(1, 2, 3), slice(4, 5, 6))
Otherwise, another way to do it would be to provide the pickling
protocol:
class DeepCopyable1:
def __init__(self, x, y, z, a, b, c):
# Pretend this was something more complicated.
self.slicex = slice(x, y, z)
self.slicey = slice(a, b, c)
def __getstate__(se lf):
state = self.__dict__.c opy()
# Create local vars for brevity.
sx, sy = self.slicex, self.slicey
# Save the indices rather than the slices.
state['slicex'] = sx.start, sx.stop, sx.step
state['slicey'] = sy.start, sy.stop, sy.step
return state
def __setstate__(se lf, state):
# Recreate the slice objects.
state['slicex'] = slice(*state['slicex'])
state['slicey'] = slice(*state['slicey'])
self.__dict__.u pdate(state)
|>d0 = DeepCopyable1(1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
|>d0.slicex, d0.slicey
(slice(1, 2, 3), slice(4, 5, 6))
|>d1 = deepcopy(d0)
|>d1.slicex, d1.slicey
(slice(1, 2, 3), slice(4, 5, 6))
Circular references seem work fine here too. Observe:
|>d0 = DeepCopyable1(1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
|>d0.rec = d0
|>d0
<delme.DeepCopy able instance at 0xb7d5cb2c>
|>d0.rec.rec #etc...
<delme.DeepCopy able instance at 0xb7d5cb2c>
|>d1 = deepcopy(d0)
|>d1
<delme.DeepCopy able instance at 0xb7d7878c>
|>d1.rec
<delme.DeepCopy able instance at 0xb7d7878c>
Since you're going to be using more dimensions, you could make python
do the work for you rather than cutting and pasting:
class DeepCopyable2:
# __init__() omitted...
def __getstate__(se lf):
state = self.__dict__.c opy()
# Keep track of the slice attributes
slices = state['slices'] = []
# Convert slices to indices.
for attr, s in state.items():
if isinstance(s, slice):
state[attr] = s.start, s.stop, s.step
slices.append(a ttr)
return state
def __setstate__(se lf, state):
slices = state.pop('slic es')
# Recreate the slice objects.
for attr in slices:
state[attr] = slice(*state[attr])
self.__dict__.u pdate(state)
(I copied over the __init__() method from DeepCopyable for this
example.)
|>from delme import *
|>d0 = DeepCopyable2(1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
|>d1 = deepcopy(d0)
|>d1.slicex, d1.slicey
(slice(1, 2, 3), slice(4, 5, 6))
HTH. :)
I haven't used numpy (yet) and I've never explicitly used slice
objects, so the idea of storing and copying them struck me funny. I
find it very interesting and amusing that someone somewhere has a use
for them like this.
Peace,

Similarly in Python 2.4 you cannot deepcopy functions. That has been fixed

Shows how unusual it is.
Since slice objects appear to be immutable:
|>s = slice(1)
|>s
slice(None, 1, None)
|>s.start = 1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: 'slice' object has only read-only attributes (assign to
..start)
etc...
fixing copy and deepcopy for slices would involve adding slice to the
tuple in this for statement in copy.py (starts on line 115 in my
version Python 2.4.3):
for t in (types.NoneType , int, long, float, bool, str, tuple,
frozenset, type, xrange, types.ClassType ,
types.BuiltinFu nctionType):
d[t] = _copy_immutable
and, lower down, around line 214, adding a line like this:
d[types.SliceType] = _deepcopy_atomi c
I think I'll send a patch in in awhile. ;-)
