[ZODB-Dev] Why can't I use copy.copy() on PersistentList?

[Magnus Lycka]

Should it be like this? (I'm using ZODB 3.1b1+...)

 >>> import ZODB.PersistentList
 >>> pl = ZODB.PersistentList.PersistentList()
 >>> pl.append(1);pl.append(1);pl.append(1);pl.append(1)
 >>> pl
[1, 1, 1, 1]
 >>> pl[:]
[1, 1, 1, 1] # as expected
 >>> import copy
 >>> copy.copy(list(pl))
[1, 1, 1, 1]
 >>> copy.copy(pl)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "G:\Python22\lib\copy.py", line 84, in copy
     y = _reconstruct(x, reductor(), 0)
   File "G:\Python22\lib\copy.py", line 300, in _reconstruct
     y = callable(*args)
TypeError: ExtensionClass object argument after * must be a sequence
 >>>

:(
