42. Shallow vs deep copy

Understand shared references.

Write `independent_copy(nested)` that returns a fully independent deep copy of a nested list, so mutating the copy never affects the original.

Required in your answer: copy.deepcopy

Runs via Pyodide

import copy

def independent_copy(nested):
    # TODO: use copy.deepcopy
    pass
