You are wrapping a "class", not object.

1. If class has copy constructor you can write MyObject( other
MyObject instance ) and this will work
2. If class has operator=, than P++ exposes it under "assign" name, so
you can use it: my_object.assign( other instance )
3. In order to work with copy or deepcopy, the exposed class should
have __copy__ or __deepcopy__ method.
You can register a C++ function, which does the job, under such
name and you'll be okey.
4. Another option is described
here(http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/python/doc/v2/pickle.html).
Py++ doesn't support such functionality
