Sorry, I realized the explicit use of the 'dict()' constructor making the
difference just after I hit the 'send' button.
Still, the original question remains, as the original poster did use something
like 'dict ns2 = dict(ns1)' and yet both objects had the same id, i.e. pointed
to the same object internally.
So it appears in that particular case dict(foobar) didn't really create a copy
of foobar.
