Although upstream may (or may not) sort out how to fix this, we should see if there is another way we can do what we need to do and avoid any fallout from changes in CPython.\r\n\r\n\r\n----\r\n\r\nGood first issue because \"make sure deepcopy works on Paths\" is a narrowly limited task, but hard because it will require understanding why we currently use `super()` and enough of the deepcopy/pickle protocol details to fix it.\r\n\r\n\r\nattn @anntzer ","author":{"url":"https://github.com/tacaswell","@type":"Person","name":"tacaswell"},"datePublished":"2024-11-19T20:55:21.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":12},"url":"https://github.com/29157/matplotlib/issues/29157"}
