Description
Documentation
copy.__doc__ ends:
Classes can use the same interfaces to control copying that they use
to control pickling: they can define methods called __getinitargs__(),
__getstate__() and __setstate__(). See the documentation for module
"pickle" for information on these methods.
But __getinitargs__ went away with Python 2.
