【2】文件读写-4-2-python深拷贝与浅拷贝--deepcopy/copy

Assignment statements in Python do not copy objects, they create bindings between a target and an object. For collections that are mutable or contain mutable items, a copy is sometimes needed so one can change one copy without changing the other.

1. copy.copy 浅拷贝 只拷贝父对象，不会拷贝对象的内部的子对象。
2. copy.deepcopy 深拷贝 拷贝对象及其子对象

一个很好的例子：

import copy
a = [1, 2, 3, 4, ['a', 'b']]  #原始对象

b = a  #赋值，传对象的引用
c = copy.copy(a)  #对象拷贝，浅拷贝
d = copy.deepcopy(a)  #对象拷贝，深拷贝

a.append(5)  #修改对象a
a[4].append('c')  #修改对象a中的['a', 'b']数组对象

print 'a = ', a
print 'b = ', b
print 'c = ', c
print 'd = ', d

输出结果：

a =  [1, 2, 3, 4, ['a', 'b', 'c'], 5]
b =  [1, 2, 3, 4, ['a', 'b', 'c'], 5]
c =  [1, 2, 3, 4, ['a', 'b', 'c']]
d =  [1, 2, 3, 4, ['a', 'b']]
