how to deepcopy a dictionary of wx objects

I need to make a deepcopy of a dictionary containing a bunch of menu
items.

I tried calling copy.copy(menuItem) for every menu item in a
dictionary but that just returns a reference to the menuItem.

I also tried copy.deepcopy(menuItem) but that fails with
TypeError: object.__new__(PySwigObject) is not safe, use
PySwigObject.__new__()

So, how do I create a complete copy of a dictionary, no matter what's in
it?

Thanks,
