copy.deepcopy() doesn't (for class objects): any thoughts?

I was playing around with the Simple Metaclassing thread and found something odd:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. >>> class aClass:
  2. ...     classVar1 = 'hello'
  3. ...     def __init__(self, arg1):
  4. ...         self.instVar1 = arg1
  5. ...         
  6. >>> anInstance = aClass('world')
  7. >>> import copy
  8. >>> bClass = copy.deepcopy(anInstance.__class__)
  9. >>> bClass
  10. <class __builtin__.aClass at 0x02FA7240>
  11. >>> aClass
  12. <class __builtin__.aClass at 0x02FA7240>
  13. >>> bClass = copy.deepcopy(aClass)
  14. >>> bClass
  15. <class __builtin__.aClass at 0x02FA7240>
