single: __deepcopy__() (copy protocol)

In order for a class to define its own copy implementation, it can define
special methods :meth:`__copy__` and :meth:`__deepcopy__`. The former is called
to implement the shallow copy operation; no additional arguments are passed.
The latter is called to implement the deep copy operation; it is passed one
argument, the ``memo`` dictionary. If the :meth:`__deepcopy__` implementation needs
to make a deep copy of a component, it should call the :func:`deepcopy` function
with the component as first argument and the memo dictionary as second argument.
The memo dictionary should be treated as an opaque object.
special methods :meth:`~object.__copy__` and :meth:`~object.__deepcopy__`.

.. method:: object.__copy__(self)

But please keep :noindex:. There are already entries for __replace__ etc, and duplicates that refer to the same target are confusing.

Hm, when adding noindex it starts to fail nitpick mode:

/Users/sobolev/Desktop/cpython/Doc/library/copy.rst:90: WARNING: py:meth reference target not found: object.__copy__
/Users/sobolev/Desktop/cpython/Doc/library/copy.rst:90: WARNING: py:meth reference target not found: object.__deepcopy__

With two indexes we have:

They link to:

  • copy.html#copy.object.__replace__
  • copy.html#index-2

Do we need the index directive itself now?

You could consider :noindexentry:?

It generated just one link in index.html: copy.html#index-2
No warnings 👍

Thanks, TIL about noindexentry :)

:noindexentry:

Called to implement the shallow copy operation;
no additional arguments are passed.

.. method:: object.__deepcopy__(self, memo)
:noindexentry:

Called to implement the deep copy operation; it is passed one
argument, the *memo* dictionary. If the ``__deepcopy__`` implementation needs
to make a deep copy of a component, it should call the :func:`deepcopy` function
with the component as first argument and the *memo* dictionary as second argument.
The *memo* dictionary should be treated as an opaque object.


.. index::
single: __replace__() (replace protocol)

Function :func:`replace` is more limited than :func:`copy` and :func:`deepcopy`,
and only supports named tuples created by :func:`~collections.namedtuple`,
:mod:`dataclasses`, and other classes which define method :meth:`!__replace__`.
:mod:`dataclasses`, and other classes which define method :meth:`~object.__replace__`.

This answers a question I had: with noindexentry, can we still link to the method.
I just hope it’s not indexed as copy.object instead of builtins.object!

Of course, it is copy.object. https://cpython-previews--109968.org.readthedocs.build/en/109968/library/copy.html#copy.object.__replace__

You need to add .. currentmodule:: . to make it builtin.


.. method:: __replace__(self, /, **changes)
:noindex:
.. method:: object.__replace__(self, /, **changes)
:noindexentry:

:meth:`!__replace__` should create a new object of the same type,
replacing fields with values from *changes*.
This method should create a new object of the same type,
replacing fields with values from *changes*.
