To copy a set in Python, you can use either the copy() method or the built-in set() function.

Using the copy() method:

 # create a set
my_set = {1, 2, 3}

# copy the set
new_set = my_set.copy()

# print the sets
print(my_set)   # output: {1, 2, 3}
print(new_set)  # output: {1, 2, 3}

Using the set() function:

# create a set
my_set = {1, 2, 3}

# copy the set
new_set = set(my_set)

# print the sets
print(my_set)   # output: {1, 2, 3}
print(new_set)  # output: {1, 2, 3}
 

Both methods create a new set that is a copy of the original set. Note that the new set is a completely separate object, so modifying it will not affect the original set.
