and when using 2.2
class Temp: pass
newbie = Temp()
can be replaced with
from types import ObjectType
newbie = ObjectType()

Piece of cake:
class Fleep:
def __init__(self, x, y, z):
print 'lots',x,'of',y,'work',z
def __copy__(self):
class Temp: pass
newbie = Temp()
newbie.__class__=self.__class__
print "very little work"
