Python cloning an array (list) using slice operator.
arr = ["v1", "v2", "v3", "v4", "v5"] ref_arr = arr ##ref to arr ref_arr[0] = "new v1" ## will change in arr also ## This will create new copy cloned_arr = arr[:] cloned_arr[0] = "new v1 in cloned" ## will not change arr and ref_arr print arr print ref_arr print cloned_arr
['new v1', 'v2', 'v3', 'v4', 'v5'] ['new v1', 'v2', 'v3', 'v4', 'v5'] ['new v1 in cloned', 'v2', 'v3', 'v4', 'v5']
