Standard behaviour of a getSomething method

[Batista, Facundo]

Resending... get no answers, don't remember if this mail reached the list.


When I want to know about a attribute (e.g.: myAttrib) of an object, I
should use the specific method (e.g.: getMyAttrib).

Considering that this attribute is always another object (everything is an
object in Python), what should getMyAttrib do?

1) Return the object
2) Return a copy of the object

How do I return a copy of the object?

Thanks for all.
