No, as Danny explained it is a reference to the data, not a copy.

There is an intermediate solution as well. You could use a sublocations 
class with attributes but no reference to its parent. Then the above 
would be

for sub in group.sublocations:
if sub.action == 'foo':
  print group.group_location, sub.sublocation
