A twist, a twist, another twist
The animation was wonderfully detailed, the story was simple if a little predictable, the voice acting was simply excellent, and the overall production was fantastic. I wish to know the secrets to your animation. Truly a production deserving of the front page.
Two words...
...although I'm pretty sure some people have beat me to it already: tentacle rape.
At first...
There were screams, then there was tentacle rape. Anyway,
The animation was quite good, the artwork was exceptional and the voices were superb. Damn good flash you have made, my good man.

DONALD TRUMP: Mike Ramos blasts presidential hopeful's Mexican immigrant remarksJuly 2nd, 2015, 2:28 pm by By JEFF HORSEMAN
San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos kicked off his Fourth of July weekend by slamming Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for his recent comments about Mexican immigrants.
In announcing his 2016 White House bid, Trump, a billionaire real estate and casino mogul and reality TV star, said: "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with (them). They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. ...Read the rest of this entry »

|A witness who brings remarkable life and color to the Civil War in the East. Robert Hubard was an enlisted man and officer of the 3rd Virginia Cavalry in the Army of Northern Virginia (CSA) from 1861 through 1865. He wrote his memoir during an extended convalescence spent at his father's Virginia plantation after being wounded at the battle of Five Forks on April 1, 1865. Hubard served under such Confederate luminaries as Jeb Stuart, Fitz Lee, Wade Hampton, and Thomas L. Rosser. He and his unit fought at the battles of Antietam, on the Chambersburg Raid, in the Shenandoah Valley, at Fredericksburg, Kelly's Ford, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Bristoe Station, and down into Virginia from the Wilderness to nearly the end of the war at Five Forks. Hubard was like many of his class and station a son of privilege and may have felt that his service was an act of noblesse oblige. Unlike many of his contemporaries, however, he was a keen observer and a writer of unusual grace, clarity, humor, and intelligence. The editor has fleshed out his memoir by judicious use of Hubard's own wartime letters, which not only fill in gaps but permit the reader to see developments in the writer's thinking after the passage of time. Because he was a participant in events of high drama and endured the quotidian life of a soldier, Hubard's memoir should be of value to both scholars and avocational readers. Thomas P. Nanzig is an editor with ProQuest in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and author of four other books, including "3rd Virginia Cavalry."

NCAA Football – Week 3
The Texas Longhorns are bouncing back from their brutal season a couple years ago. Texas went 8-5 last year, and the Longhorns have been impressive in consecutive wins to start the 2012 season. Mississippi has a new coach in Hugh Freeze. The Rebels have started the season 2-0, but it has been against subpar competition. This is the team's first real test of the 2012 season.
Game Overview:
Texas has primarily gone with David Ash as their quarterback this year. Case McCoy has seen limited action as well, but it seems the coaches are most comfortable with Ash under center. Texas needs to establish the running game to be successful this season. Malcolm Brown and Joe Bergeron appear to be the team's top tailbacks at this point. The team has run the ball fairly well this year, but the competition level has been terrible. Jaxon Shipley is becoming a play maker on the outside for this offense.
The strength of this Texas team is clearly its defense. The defensive front is loaded with talent. Jackson Jeffcoat and Alex Okafor might be the best defensive end tandem in the nation. Texas should be able to get lots of pressure on opponents all year. The Texas secondary is an aggressive bunch. Kenny Vaccaro is one of the best free safeties in the country. Overall, this Texas defense has a chance to be special this year.
Mississippi had a very long season last year under Houston Nutt. Hugh Freeze was one of the hottest coaching commodities in the nation, and Freeze was thrilled to come coach at Ole Miss. The team certainly isn't loaded with talent, but there are a few pieces for him to work with in his first season with the team. The biggest weaknesses for this team in 2011 were both the offensive and defensive lines. The Rebels were constantly beat in the trenches, and that can't happen again this year or the team will be disappointing once again. Jeff Scott had 12 carries for 111 yards last week in the team's win over UTEP. It will be much tougher to run against the Texas defensive front, but Mississippi has to find a way to run the ball in this game. Bo Wallace is a good athlete at quarterback, and he can scramble to make some extra plays for the team.
The Rebels defense allowed 20 points in the first half against Central Arkansas in the season opener, so this unit is definitely a concern. The secondary is the most talented group on this defense, but it seems like the defensive line will be a major weakness again this year. Texas will definitely test this defensive front this weekend. Can Mississippi find a way to stop the Texas running game?
Texas has a very strong defense this year. Look for Mississippi to struggle to get on track offensively. The Longhorns offensive line will likely be too much for the Rebels defensive front. I think Texas makes a statement here and covers this line.
Texas 31 Mississippi 13

Palin dropped her droors, put on the boxing gloves, and came out fighting. Let the fun begin. the media said Biden would have to treat her like a lady, well, no more. She will get treated as she treats others. Let the fight, oh, I mean election, begin!!! She talks about a pit bull and a hockey mom, only difference being lipstick, She better leave the lipstick off, now that she has muddied the waters up!!I hate politics!!!! and those that play therein!!!b43PS GO CAT!!!!!!!! Over 100 when wall street wakes the hell up!!!!!
Boyce, I can commerserate with you and I too feel that it is because I own it but now is the time for strong nerve and patience. I own a lot of this stock and there is no way it is a bad investment and as a matter of fact it probably is the very best investment available for the long pull. CAT will be there when the cows come home with a product that is world wide superior. All this positioning in China right now that they are doing will pay BIG dividends later. It is a minimum of $100 and will happen long before the general market gets back to where it was. Hang tight !!

Shin creates a makeshift arm out of scalpels and prepares to engage Sakura in battle. As Naruto, Sasuke, Sarada, and Chōchō fly to Shin's location in Sasuke's Susanoo, Sarada thinks about Sakura, Sasuke, and Karin, and what Sasuke's relationship with his wife really is like only to be comforted by Naruto and regains her composure. Shin uses his scalpels to form a large shuriken and throws it at Sakura, but it is intercepted by Sasuke's Susanoo Sword. Sasuke then crushes Shin's bones, removes the scalpels from Sakura's arm, and burns them with Amaterasu while Sarada smiles with delight that there is love between husband and wife. The group prepares to capture Shin so he can be interrogated at Konohagakure, but Shin's clones stab him with their kunai, much to everyone's shock. The clones declare that Shin's genes have become weak and that they will become strong and evolve instead of him. An army of Shin clones appears and starts fighting Naruto and Sasuke. While his enemies are distracted, Shin attempts to warp away from the battlefield and take the girls with him using his creature. However, Sarada intervenes and kills the creature with a single punch. More clones of Shin arrive and Naruto suggests they retreat. Sakura tells Sarada to stand back, but Sarada instead charges at the clone army. Dodging a kunai and stating her desire to protect her mother, Sarada attacks the clones.
As Madara launches two more orbs towards the two, Obito — with Kakashi's help — transports himself to the other dimension. After convincing Sakura of his changed nature, Obito begins to transfer the tailed beasts chakra to Naruto. In the real world, Guy arrives just in the knick of time to save Kakashi from Madara's attack.

We will be discussing things such as color schemes, bathroom decorating ideas as well as the different types of shower curtains available on the market such as:
- Fabric Shower Curtains
- Vinyl Shower Curtains
- Peva Shower Curtains
- Burlap Shower Curtains
We will also talk about all of the bathroom accessories that are needed to make your bathroom not only functional, but unique also. Tips on how to relax in a spa like setting will also be discussed along with the psychology of color and other interesting articles.
We know, from our own experience, that sometimes the bathroom is the only room in the house where you can escape to find some peace and quiet. We know the feeling of relief when you lock that door and take a deep breath, knowing that you will be alone, even if it's just for a moment or two. We all need time to unwind and relax so why not make your bathroom your little haven of comfort. It is so important that you take the time for yourself to get away from the hurry and the noise and just relax. Hopefully, we can inspire you to create for yourself a beautiful atmosphere that you and your family can enjoy.
We are hoping that this will become your one stop shop for all of your shower curtains and bathroom accessories.

Cool. Now do Pirate Batman!
NO! Do Bluebeard Green Lantern! Fighting someone taupe or puce or mauve–sorry.
I vote for Ninja Spiderman.
Forsooth! Thou must stand for truth, justice and the Plantagenet way!
Wasn't pirate Batman a thing already? I think there was one of those alternate universe comics where pirate Batman kills "the Laughing Man". (Oh, right, spoilers)
Great concept, wonderful image. Just one thing: is the sword over or under the cape? It isn't clear.
Ninja Batman was already done too. When Bruce was re-training after Bane broke his back.
Greek Pantheon Thor.
The Mighty Certified Public Accountant Thor.
I've been seeing a lot of pictures done of Superman on Heromachine. What I don't understand is how they get the symbol on here. I've seen the diamond shape but I can't figure any way to get an "S". HELP!
No I know that, I understand. But I've seen pics from guys that have actually done that. They some how pasted it on there character or done it some other way, even Batman. I was just curious how, go to Google images and type in Heromachine Superman and you'll see what I mean. I know those weren't drawn cause I can tell they're from the site.

Athletes will, oftentimes, go to great lengths in order to change their luck during an event and/or a season.
Gone are games which count with League III rivals Sumter, Hartsville, Cheraw and Manning-Santee. In fact, that circuit is now in Kershaw County's rear-view mirror.
When Roger Smoak called his friend and Chapin High boys' head tennis coach, John Rodgers, to congratulate him on the Eagles' third consecutive AAA state championship, the veteran Bulldog boss heard the phrase which would make any coach feel good, at first, before cringing after thinking about it for a while.
The Carolinas Hound Show held on May 12 at the Springdale Race Course, brought together fox hunts from North and South Carolina. Hound breeds, including English, American, Crossbred and Penn-Marydell, were judged on conformation according to breed standards. Camden hound Midnight was judged champion brood bitch.
While the Camden High golf team missed earning a spot in this week's AAA state golf championship held at the Hackler Course at Coastal Carolina University, the two-day event did have a Bulldog presence along the Grand Strand.
Things opened up much differently for Jonathan Sheppard than they finished in Saturday's 71st running of the Iroquois Steeplechase in Nashville.
As he prepared to tack up Cougar at Heart for a mid-Monday morning gallop at the Springdale Race Course, Brian Crowley peered beneath the neck of the 5-year-old mare and pointed a finger across the way to the vacant stall 618 which was occupied by Arcadius.
While a win Tuesday would not have changed anything from a loss to Chapin in the 2010 AAA state championship match, Camden High tennis coach Roger Smoak felt a lot better about his team's chances at downing the Eagles in Camden than he may have about winning at a neutral site in Sumter two years ago.
In trying to possibly avoid getting into the same bracket as defending state champion Hilton Head, Airport, reportedly, used an intentional own goal in a win over Dreher which sent the Eagles to Camden for Monday's first round AAA state girls' playoff match.
DARLINGTON – When we last left the Darlington vs. Camden baseball series, Jake Ansley threw a no-hitter against DHS in a tidily played 2-1 Bulldog victory in the next-to-last game of the Region 6-AAA season between the two sides played at American Legion Park.
Having little choice but to go to the front, Willie McCarthy took Baltic Shore to point in Saturday's $50,000 Queen's Cup MPC Chase.
Sarah Andrews was closing the deal on her becoming an incoming freshman at Columbia College this fall when an admissions counselor at the school saw that the soon-to-be Lugoff-Elgin High School graduate had played volleyball for the Lady Demons.
Hide the kids.
CHAPIN --- For one split second, all that Camden had done wrong in Thursday's AAA state playoff opener at Chapin looked like it might be swept under the rug.
Flash Mash, a graduate of Kip Elser's Kirkwood Stables in Camden, tracked down Well Deserved in deep stretch to win Saturday's 16th running of the $100,000 Giant's Causeway Stakes at the Keeneland Race Course in Versailles, Ky.

This is the time of year when you want to be playing your best. And the Kershaw County American Legion baseball team is checking all the boxes in their quest for a second straight trip to the state tournament.
This is not the opening state American Legion officials wanted to see in the Lower State portion of the state playoffs.
There is little known regarding which teams will be in this week's state American Legion baseball playoffs or where they are going since there was no bracket to be found as to the pairings.
Turning what was to have been a doubleheader of baseball into, basically, one single game, Kershaw County Post 17 cemented its second-place finish in League III by sweeping Wednesday's pair of games with visiting Manning-Santee.
At first, it started out with his signing autographs and posing for pictures with youngsters attending last week's annual Vonnie Holliday Football Camp in Camden.
As he made his way onto the track at Springdale Race Course for a photo shoot in late winter 2012, Dale Thiel was asked how he was doing.
Standing on the stage at Lugoff-Elgin High School as a participant in the 1995 Mr. L-E Pageant, Monte Lee was asked by the moderator of the competition where he saw himself in 10 years.

Creating Opportunity
Conservation organizations often encounter situations where they want to acquire a particular property important to their goals but the owners have no interest in selling. Some owners may never want to sell or may want to leave such matters to their heirs. Owners may tell an organization that they will be sure to approach the organization if they ever consider selling, but experience suggests that such assurances shouldn't inspire confidence: when owners eventually come around to selling, they may have forgotten conversations of years passed or think it not worth the trouble of reaching out to what they perceive as a cash-strapped organization.
A grant by the owners to the organization of a right of first purchase can provide the organization certainty that it will have some opportunity to vie for the property if and when the owners (or their heirs) contemplate a sale. A right of first purchase can be a right of first offer, a right of first negotiation, a right of first refusal or a combination of these rights.
A right of first offer requires the owners to offer the property, on terms of their choosing, to the person who holds the right (called the "holder" or "grantee") before offering the property to others. (Alternatively, a right of first offer can be structured to have the grantee, upon notice from the owners that they are interested in selling, make the first offer.) A right of first negotiation, which may be appended to a right of first offer, goes one step further and requires the owners to negotiate with the holder in good faith for some period of time. A right of first refusal allows the holder the right, after offers are solicited from others, to match any offer that the owners are willing to accept. These rights are often combined so that the holder has the first opportunity to act on owners' interest in selling and the assurance that, if the owners' initial expectations are unrealistic (that is, before the property is placed on the market), there is still the opportunity to match a price offered by a third party buyer after the property has been exposed to the market.
A right of first purchase provides to an organization the guarantee of an opportunity to consider or make an offer on a property. The negotiation of a right of first offer, negotiation or refusal may also provide a second benefit—serving to break the ice with an owner; this may be a first step toward building a relationship that eventually leads to more concrete and creative arrangements for the conservation of the property.
Model Documents
The Pennsylvania Land Trust Association has published, at ConservationTools.org, a number of guides and model documents to help conservation organizations obtain commitments from owners regarding the potential future sale of their property interests. Publications include:
- The Model Grant of Purchase Option with Commentary is used to establish the right of an organization to purchase property for a fixed or ascertainable price at a fixed time. The guide Purchase Options discusses a number of circumstances in which a purchase option can be a useful tool for conservation organizations, whether the subject is a land or conservation easement acquisition.
- The Model Grant of Right of First Offer with Commentary provides a tool for establishing both a right of first offer and a right of first negotiation for the benefit of a conservation organization.
- The Model Grant of Right of First Refusal and Commentary provides a tool for establishing a right of a first refusal for the benefit of a conservation organization.
Comparison of Purchase Rights
Conservation organizations interested in acquiring land from owners not presently interested in selling can respond to owners' concerns more readily and with greater versatility if they are familiar with the real estate tools suited for this circumstance.
Example. The conservation organization has identified, as a top conservation priority, acquisition of a tract owned by a conservation-minded family. The goal of the organization is to add the land to its adjacent preserve. The owners are good stewards of the land but have no interest in selling at present; nor are they likely to want to sell while they are healthy and still enjoying the land, deferring such matters involving mortality to the future, most likely to their estate and heirs.
Strategies. If acquisition is not a possibility, at least in the short term, what other strategies may be advanced by the land trust?
- Conservation easement. A conservation easement protecting the land's natural and scenic resources is a worthwhile step but does not achieve the ultimate goal of incorporating the land into the preserve.
- Purchase option. A purchase option granted to the conservation organization may be a possibility. As discussed in the guide Purchase Options, the purchase option is triggered at a specific time (in this case a remote date such as that of the death of the owners) and at a specific, or ascertainable, price (in this case, fair value established by appraisal because the time for exercise of the option is likely far in the future).
- Right of first offer. If the owners do not want to commit to a purchase price established by an unknown appraiser, the right of first offer may provide the conservation organization some protection against a hasty sale to a third party without its knowledge. In this example, the grant of a right of first offer will be triggered under the same circumstances as the purchase option. The difference is in how the purchase price is determined—appraisal versus the owners' discretion at the future date. The right of first offer (which may also provide the opportunity for further negotiation before the property is placed on the market) is discussed in this guide and in the commentary to the Model Grant of Right of First Offer.
- Right of first refusal. The right of first refusal is triggered just before the property is to be sold to a third party. The purchase price is firm (the same price offered by the third party) but the right to purchase must be exercised quickly by the conservation organization without any time for negotiation. The right of first refusal is discussed in this guide and in the commentary to the Model Grant of Right of First Refusal.
Right of First Offer
Landowners are often willing to accommodate a right of first offer because the detriment to them is minimal. All they have to do is notify the holder of the right, before they list the property for sale, of the terms they are willing to accept. The offered terms do not have to be reasonable or comparable to market. The right of first offer alone (without the addition of a right of first negotiation, described below) is a "take it or leave it" proposition -- there is no obligation on the part of the owners to consider a counterproposal. If the offer is not accepted within the agreed upon response time, then the owners can move forward with their marketing plan without any further need to deal with the holder.
Alternatively, the right of first offer can be structured to have the holder, upon notice from the owners that the owners are interested in selling, make the first offer. This configuration likewise places minimal burden on the owners. Owners are under no obligation to accept the holder's offer; their only inconvenience is having to provide notice to the holder and wait the specified period of time for holder to make an offer before placing the property on the market.
The principal advantage to a conservation organization of holding a right of first offer is that the organization will be alerted when the property will soon be available for purchase. The owners may not offer or be willing to accept a reasonable offer without first experiencing how potential buyers respond to a listing of the property on the real estate market. Even so, the organization has the opportunity, before the property is marketed, to build a relationship with the owners; educate them on conservation strategies that may benefit them or be of interest to them, whether or not the conservation organization is in a position to purchase; and to prepare for making a better informed offer that the owners may take more seriously after the property has been exposed to the reality of the market.
Example. The owners want to leave all of their options open should they ever want, or need, to sell their property. On the other hand, their preferred purchaser, all else being equal, is the conservation organization and they have told the conservation organization they have every intention of giving them an opportunity to buy before listing the property.
Right of First Negotiation
A right of first negotiation is not a stand-alone right but an add-on to the right of first offer. The purpose is to provide time after an initial offer is rejected for counterproposals to be made and, if possible, for the holder to reach agreement with the owners before others can make competing offers.
The grant of first offer will establish the amount of time allowed for negotiation. A reasonable period for negotiation may be 30 days and often up to 90. The Model Grant of Right of First Offer provides that both parties will negotiate in good faith during the stipulated negotiation period. If the owners and the holder do not come to terms within the negotiation period, there is no further obligation on the part of the owners unless the holder also holds a right of first refusal.
Example. The owners' offered sales price is, in the opinion of the conservation organization, well above its market value. A right of first negotiation appended to the right of first offer allows the conservation organization time to organize a responsible and responsive counteroffer based on market information and an analysis of physical and legal constraints on developability.
Right of First Refusal
A right of first refusal is triggered only after the owners have successfully marketed the property. The owners must hold off accepting a satisfactory offer received from a third party during the acceptance period specified in the grant of right of first refusal so that the holder can decide whether to match it. The length of this period can be expected to be considerably shorter than the time period for a response to a first offer because, unlike the first offer, the first refusal creates a risk that a third party buyer will withdraw a satisfactory offer if the owner can't respond promptly. A prospective buyer typically gives the seller only a few days to accept an offer. If the right of first refusal's acceptance period is longer than the decision period allowed to the owner by the third party buyer, the owner risks losing a satisfactory sale due to the holder not matching the third party's offer and the third party buyer choosing not to extend their offer.
The grant of a first refusal may be attractive to those owners who, all other considerations being equal, would prefer a sale to the conservation organization soliciting the right of first refusal.
Example. An elderly owner prefers his land to be acquired by the conservation organization upon his death but without any detriment to the value of his estate. He could grant a purchase option that would give the organization the right to acquire the land at its value established by the appraisal for estate tax purposes but he suspects that the appraised value established for those purposes may be on the low side of comparable values. Instead, he proposes a right of first refusal triggered when the estate is about to sell to a third party, who is likely to be a residential developer.
A conservation organization will need time to analyze the real estate offer made by the third party buyer to the owner and, if the details are satisfactory, obtain necessary internal approval. The organization probably will need time to obtain financing as well. However, as explained, the owner granting a right of first refusal is likely to want to be sure that the time allowed to the organization to respond is short. Combining a right of first refusal with rights of first offer and negotiation can ameliorate this serious time constraint.
Grant of all Three Rights is Optimal
Optimally, a conservation organization will obtain from owners all three rights of first purchase—an initial offer from the owners with sufficient time to negotiate a mutually acceptable transaction followed by a right of first refusal if the negotiations are unsuccessful. The logic is straightforward:
- Many owners have unrealistic expectations regarding the market value of their property, resulting in their first offer to the organization being unacceptably over-priced. Agreement may be unlikely at this juncture but the conservation organization benefits by knowing that the property is soon to be marketed for sale.
- The right of first negotiation provides the organization the opportunity to respond with a realistic offer and explain the reasoning behind the offer before risking the loss of the property to another bidder on the open market. Even if agreement is not reached, the organization has had the opportunity to (1) build a relationship with the owners that may lead to successful future negotiations after the property has been exposed to the market; (2) educate the owners on a range of conservation options; and (3) better familiarize itself with the property.
- The warning that the property will be marketed for sale provided by the right of first offer combined with the time provided by the right of first negotiation places the conservation organization in a much better position to prepare for and make a quick decision to accept or reject terms offered to it as a result of a right of first refusal.
Example. The conservation organization obtains from the owners both a grant of first offer using the default provisions of the Model Grant of Right of First Offer and a grant of first refusal using default provisions of the Model Grant of Right of First Refusal. Years later the organization receives notice from the owners of their intent to sell the property:
- The organization has thirty days to decide whether to accept the owners' offer; plus
- The organization has thirty days to offer a counterproposal and continue negotiations; and
- If negotiations fail to result in a sale, the Grantee may continue its due diligence investigations and pursuit of funding sources as the owners engage in marketing the property; and
- Thus, if Grantee has used the time to organize itself, it may be in a position to issue a quick (and properly authorized) response when the right of first refusal is triggered.
In Writing and Recorded
A prudent conservation organization will want the owners' promises regarding rights of first purchase to be both in writing and in recordable form:
- An oral promise is of doubtful enforceability under Pennsylvania law.
- If the written promise isn't recorded, then, if the owners subsequently sell the property to a third party without the owners honoring their commitment to the organization, the third party takes the property free of any duty to the organization. In other words, the third party buyers have no obligation to honor a promise made by the owners.
Careful Drafting
Grants of rights of first offer, negotiation and refusal must be carefully negotiated and drafted to achieve the desired outcome. The conservation organization must ask for exactly what it wants. If it simply requests a right of first refusal, that is what it will get—a right to match an offer, likely within a time period that is far too short to make a prudent decision. If it requests a right of first offer and doesn't clarify that it wants the offer followed by a period of good faith negotiation and a right of first refusal, it'll likely ultimately receive an offer that demands too much for the property with no opportunity to negotiate and no guarantee that the owners will come back to the organization once market realities realign the owners' expectations.
Use Models as Guides
The Model Grant of Right of First Offer and Model Grant of Right of First Refusal provide templates for establishing rights of first purchase and, together with their respective commentaries, provide the user with guides to key concerns that need to be resolved when establishing these rights.
Prior Liens
The conservation organization will lose its rights under grants of first purchase if (1) there are prior liens on the property, (2) no subordination or other appropriate agreement has been obtained from the lien holder to recognize the rights of the conservation organization, and (3) a foreclosure subsequently occurs. However, if the risk of foreclosure is low and the conservation organization has paid little, if any, consideration for the rights, owners are unlikely to be willing to obtain subordination given the difficulty involved. As such, an organization may reasonably conclude that the low risks and costs do not merit pursuit of subordination.

What are the options to clone or copy a list in Python?
new_list = my_list then modifies
new_list every time
my_list changes. Why is this?
You have various possibilities:
Felix already provided an excellent answer, but I thought I'd do a speed comparison of the various methods:
So the fastest is list slicing. But be aware that
(Here's the script if anyone's interested or wants to raise any issues:)
EDIT: Added new-style, old-style classes and dicts to the benchmarks, and made the python version much faster and added some more methods including list expressions and
I've been told that Python 3.3+ adds list.copy() method, which should be as fast as slicing:
There are many answers already that tell you how to make a proper copy, but none of them say why your original 'copy' failed.
Python doesn't store values in variables; it binds names to objects. Your original assignment took the object referred to by
Each element of a list acts like a name, in that each element binds non-exclusively to an object. A shallow copy creates a new list whose elements bind to the same objects as before.
To take your list copy one step further, copy each object that your list refers to, and bind those element copies to a new list.
This is not yet a deep copy, because each element of a list my refer to other objects, just like the list is an object that is bound to its elements. To recursively copy every element in the list, and then each other object referred to by each element, and so on: perform a deep copy.
See the documentation for more information about corner cases in copying.
This answer is only for Python 2. I haven't upgraded to Python 3 yet.
Python's idiom for doing this is
Shallow list copy in Python 2
A shallow copy only copies the list itself, which is a container of references to the objects in the list. If the objects contained themselves are mutable and one is changed, the change will be reflected in both lists.
In Python 2, the idiomatic way of making a shallow copy of a list is with a complete slice of the original:
You can also accomplish the same thing by passing the list through the list constructor, but that may be less efficient *(see addendum):
Python 3
In Python 3, lists get the
Deep copies, Python 2 or 3
To make a deep copy of a list, in Python 2 or 3, use deepcopy in the copy module:
