Deletion of orginal Dict data

[psbasha]

Hi,

I would like to retain the orginal dictionary data without deleting the entire data in it as shown below.

Sample
>>> d1 = {1:100,2:200,3:400}
>>> d2 = d1
>>> d1
{1: 100, 2: 200, 3: 400}
>>> d2
{1: 100, 2: 200, 3: 400}
>>> del d2[2]
>>> d2
{1: 100, 3: 400}
>>> d1
{1: 100, 3: 400}
>>> 
 

But I want d1 = {1:100,2:200,3:400} to be reatined with all the values upto the end of the program.

Could you please suggest what is steps to be followed to retain the values in orginal Dict.

Thanks
PSB

Please ignore this post.

I got the solution. It is copy method we have to use

d2 = d1.copy()
