Right, I overlooked classes with __slots__ and that override __new__
and other special methods. copy() is the better and more customizable
solution.
If copying is good enough, then this should work:
from copy import copy
def copy_with_overrides(obj1, **kwds):
obj2 = copy(obj1)
for k, v in kwds.items():
if hasattr(obj2, k):
setattr(obj2, k, v)
return obj2
Thanks to you both for really helpful advice. A quick follow-up
question - would you want to create a deepcopy of obj1 in the above
example if your obj1 contained other objects? I think that Steven's
class method gets around this?
thanks, matt
