I wonder if the word 'not' is missing between 'that' and 'should' in this sentence in https://docs.python.org/2/library/copy.html? Because deep copy copies everything it may copy too much, e.g., administrative data structures that should be shared even between copies. |

I'm sorry, 'not' could be missing between 'should' and 'be' --- 'should not be shared' |

No, the text is correct. Perhaps it would be clearer if the 'even' were moved to the front of the phrase? "...it may copy too much, even data structures that should be shared between copies." |

> Because deep copy copies everything it may copy too much, e.g., administrative data structures that should be shared even between copies. I agree that the sentence sounds wrong. I applied David's patch, it also helped me to understand. Thanks :-) |
