How can I clone an object in Python?

In Python, you can clone an object using the copy module. Would you like to see an example?

Yes, please provide an example of cloning a list.

Sure! You can clone a list using copy() method or slicing. For example: original_list = [1, 2, 3] and cloned_list = original_list.copy().

What about cloning more complex objects like dictionaries?

For dictionaries, you can also use the copy() method. For example: original_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2} and cloned_dict = original_dict.copy().

Are there any differences between shallow and deep copying?

Yes, shallow copying creates a new object but inserts references into it, while deep copying creates a new object and recursively adds copies of nested objects.
