copy versus __deepcopy__?

[tgkolda]

I understand that we have the copy method to create a deep copy. I'm confused, however, about the __deepcopy__ method. Why is that there?

[ntjohnson1]

__deepcopy__ is a python construct to support copy operations https://docs.python.org/3/library/copy.html

Got it. I'll add this clarification to the documentation.
