classes (shallow and deeply), by returning the original object unchanged; this
is compatible with the way these are treated by the :mod:`pickle` module.

Shallow copies of dictionaries can be made using :meth:`dict.copy`, and
of lists by assigning a slice of the entire list, for example,
``copied_list = original_list[:]``.
Shallow copies of many collections can be made using the corresponding
:meth:`!copy` method (such as :meth:`list.copy`, :meth:`dict.copy` or
:meth:`set.copy`), and of sequences (such as lists or bytearrays) by making
a slice of the entire sequence (``sequence[:]``).
However, these methods and slicing can create an instance of the base type
when copying an instance of a subclass, whereas :func:`copy.copy` normally
returns an instance of the same type.

If *blocking* is false, immediately executes all events in the queue which have
