Please help me see this problem，about GSComponent

Scripting
1

I want to execute create a new component in the same layer, and then copy the pieceSettings and position of the selected component to the new component (the created component is an existing component, and the property is the same to the selected one). After that, adjust the property value of one of the components. Later, the other one will change fllow it. What is the cause? Sometimes, the software will crash and exit directly. Here is my code:

layer = font.selectedLayers[0]
for component in layer.components:
    if component.selected:
        tempComponent = GSComponent('_part.001')
        tempComponent.setPieceSettings_(component.pieceSettings())
        tempComponent.position = component.position
        layer.components.append(tempComponent)

The crash information is as follows：

…There’s still a lot to fill in. I sent an error report.

You can’t append to a list that you iterate.

this should work

layer = font.selectedLayers[0]
for component in list(layer.components):
    if component.selected:
        tempComponent = GSComponent('_part.001')
        tempComponent.setPieceSettings_(component.pieceSettings())
        tempComponent.position = component.position
        layer.components.append(tempComponent)
