list([...]) should make a copy of the list

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Code you're trying to run:
x = ["hello"]
y = list(x)
x[0] = "hi"
print y[0]

What does "real" Python output?
hello

What browser are you using? On what operating system?
Chrome 11.0.696 on OS X.6 (is this EVER relevant? :P)

Please provide any additional information.
Right now it seems list(x) simply returns x, rather than a shallow copy of x, 
as Python does. tuple(x) should probably do this too, but I'm unsure of how to 
test tuple()'s behavior.

I think this may be fixed at head, but will have to confirm. tuple may not 
clone its argument because tuples are immutable anyway.

(and removed request for browser/OS, since no, it's not normally relevant. 
there's occasionally some weird stuff on ie7, etc., but presumably that would 
be mentioned anyway. :)

Assuming HEAD = the latest push, no, I don't think it was fixed. I did push a 
fix to my own clone, however.

I'm not able to reproduce with the code in the original bug.

Strange.. you sure you have no uncommitted code?

test/run/t316.py? I just added it, and "Works On My Machine". Let me know if
it doesn't for you for some reason.
