copying generators error

[Gerrit Holl]

Hi,

when copying a listiterator, I get the following error:

22:21:29:3:gerrit at stopcontact:~/cvs/pygame/examples$ python
Python 2.3a2+ (#6, Mar  2 2003, 14:26:40)

    return cls.__new__(cls, *args)
TypeError: object.__new__(listiterator) is not safe, use listiterator.__new__()

Is this a bug?

yours,
Gerrit.
