Question

what is the correct Syntax to copy one list into another ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A shallow copy creates a new list whose elements bind to the same objects as before.

new_list = list(my_list) # or my_list[:], but I prefer this syntax # is simply a shorter way of: new_list = [element for element in my_list] ...

import copy # each element must have __copy__ defined for this...
