unnecessary change

[Giorgi Lekishvili]

Thank you for the hint!
The bad news is, that the matrix turned to be un-deep-copyable object:

"""
>>> m1=deepcopy(m)
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in ?
    m1=deepcopy(m)
  File "d:\python20\lib\copy.py", line 151, in deepcopy
    y = copierfunction(x, memo)
  File "d:\python20\lib\copy.py", line 237, in _deepcopy_inst
    state = deepcopy(state, memo)
  File "d:\python20\lib\copy.py", line 151, in deepcopy
    y = copierfunction(x, memo)
  File "d:\python20\lib\copy.py", line 200, in _deepcopy_dict
    y[deepcopy(key, memo)] = deepcopy(x[key], memo)
  File "d:\python20\lib\copy.py", line 147, in deepcopy
    raise error, \
Error: un-deep-copyable object of type <type 'array'>
"""

however, the copy function did help:
