class assignment copy

[tiddlerdeja at my-deja.com]

Sorry for the lame question.

If I have a class Foo:

class Foo:
    def __init__(self):
        self.bar = 1


If I create one instance of the class:

x = Foo()

How do I make a copy of x?

y = x

Just makes y refer to x, so if I change bar on y the value is also
changed on x.

I realise this is a lame question, I just couldn't find any python
material on this.

Do I need to create some copy constructor on the class?


Any help appreciated.
