Add generalized replace() function · Issue #108751 · python/cpython · GitHub

I have already discussed this feature proposal on Discourse

https://discuss.python.org/t/generalize-replace-function/28511

Some classes have the replace() method, which creates a modified copy of the object (modified values are provided as keyword arguments). Named tuples have the _replace() for this (to avoid conflict with attribute replace). Dataclasses provide a global function for this.

I proposed to generalize dataclasses.replace() to support all classes which need this feature. By the result of the discussion on discuss.python.org, the new function will be added in the copy module as copy.replace(). dataclasses.replace() will continue to support only dataclasses. Dataclasses, named tuples and all classes which currently have the replace() method with suitable semantic will get also the __replace__() method. Now you can add such feature in new classes without conflicting with the replace attribute, and use this feature in general code without conflicting with str.replace() and like.

For now, copy.replace() is more limited than copy.copy() and does not fall back to use the powerful pickle protocol.
