That's been considered before, in relation to strings. The stumbling block is the problem of a view of a small part of the object keeping the whole thing alive and using up memory. While having a separate way of getting slice-views could be useful, I think it would be too big a change in semantics to make it the default behaviour of slicing notation. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
