I ran this past a friend of mine who is a Python expert and also had
a patch accepted to the 2.7 version of deepcopy. He said that his
patch has definitely not caused this, but that this:

     File "/usr/lib/python2.7/copy.py", line 174, in deepcopy
       y = copier(memo)
   TypeError: cannot deepcopy this pattern object

suggests that the pattern object is missing a deepcopy method.
