Hello, I want to duplicate a list in python. The way I want is, I need two list with same content pointing to different memory Location. What I tried is
Dup_List = Original_List[:]
, but lookes like even this is making both list point to same memory location.
Both the List are 2D
Thanks in advance
Jump to PostNo they are different lists with same items. If you want the items also as copies you should use deepcopy

mylist1 = [1, 2, 3]
mylist2 = mylist1[:]
print(id(mylist1))
print(id(mylist2))
''' result show 2 different memory locations ...
