Not really. If you want a copy of something, you need
to write code to create a copy, one way or another.

If you know the data type of the thing you're copying,
there are a variety of ways of writing the code, e.g.
for lists you can write y = list(x) or y = x[:]. But
you need to write code of some sort.

As you gain experience with Python, you'll find that
you don't need to copy things anywhere near as often
as you might think, so this is not a burden in practice.
