Allow constructing objects like Feature(feature)

hyperknot commented 9 years ago

In Python most object support creating a new object from an old one, (AFAIK by doing a copy operation), by constructing it in the form of:

a = dict(...)
b = dict(a)

In geojson it is not supported. If I try to do:

f = Feature(...)
f2 = Feature(f)

It creates a broken object like:

{"geometry": null, "id": {"geometry": null, "properties": {}, "type": "Feature"}, "properties": {}, "type": "Feature"}

This would be especially important as geojson is inheriting from dict, so ideally it should behave in a similar way.
