No, no, no. The important invariant is that n * seq is loop(seq)[:n*len(seq)] where loop(seq) is an endless loop of the elements of seq. So obviously, if n is negative, the result should be an infinite sequence that's == to loop(seq). -j _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
