Deep copy of a dict in python

I would like to make a deep copy of a dict in python. Unfortunately the .deepcopy() method doesn't exist for the dict. How do I do that?

>>> my_dict = {'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': [4, 5, 6]}
>>> my_copy = my_dict.deepcopy()
Traceback (most recent calll last):
  File "", line 1, in 
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'deepcopy'
>>> my_copy = my_dict.copy()
>>> my_dict['a'][2] = 7
>>> my_copy['a'][2]
7

The last line should be 3.

I would like that modifications in my_dict don't impact the snapshot my_copy.

How do I do that? The solution should be compatible with Python 3.x.
