Simpler and faster prototype

[elecay]

A basic performance test:

if name == 'main':
import time

for _ in range(10):
    n = 10000
    t0 = time.time()
    for i in range(n):
        main()
    t1 = time.time()

    total_n = t1 - t0
    print(total_n)

Results:

copy.deepcopy()

Hi,

Thanks for the commit. Do you think that keeping the original implementation makes any sense? For example, are there any cases where deepcopy would work but your implementation wouldn't?

[elecay]

Hi.

No, there isn't. So, that's is why class it's prefered to deepcopy. Keeping the original make no sense.
