I think the question was what benefit would there be in a general slice-view object which knew nothing about the internal structure of the thing it's viewing. The benefits of the string views we're talking about hinge on the fact that they're special-purpose and know how to get directly at the bytes of the underlying string. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
