Just transform the problem away. If you can guarantee that samples_to_trim is <= len(vector), then it's trivial: trimmed_vector = vector[:len(vector) - samples_to_trim] If not, it gets more complicated, but you can wrap the upper bound in a max(0, ...). -- Michael Urman _______________________________________________ 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
