What’s the difference between deepcopy and copy in Python?

I’ve been using the copy module in Python, and I’ve come across both copy() and deepcopy(). I understand that copy() creates a shallow copy of an object, but I’m a little confused about when to use deepcopy().

Can someone explain the difference in more detail and give an example of when I should use one over the other? Is there any performance impact when using deepcopy()?
