even when x=X() and y=copyItSomehowFrom(x)
what is supposed to be copied?
the whole file? but where?

in your case .. what is supposed to happen with the mirrored image?
should it be mirrored inplace
if I recall properly in "import PIL.Image as image" if you image.open
an image and want to mirror it you can create a real copy
and then "save as " it into a file

my 2 cents
