Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.4 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Submitted By: Gene Cash (gcash) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Can't take sequence slice past 32K Initial Comment: If you have a string/list/etc longer than 32K and you attempt to take a slice beyond the 32K size, you get "TypeError: indices must be integers". For example, if x='spam'*16000, then something like x[34000, 34100] fails, and x[y, z] also fails if y=34000 and z=34100 It affects lists and tuples as well as strings. This is present in 2.4 and 2.4.1, and happens on at least the Linux and Windows platforms. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Michael Hudson (mwh) Date: 2005-06-23 18:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6656 Battle of the dueling updates! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tim Peters (tim_one) Date: 2005-06-23 18:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=31435 Something's confused here. x[y, z] doesn't ask for a slice, it's trying to index x by the two-tuple (y, z). x[y:z] (with a colon) is the way to ask for a slice. I don't have any trouble with slice notation regardless of how large the slice bounds are, but of course a sequence complains if you try to index it with a tuple. >>> x = 'spam' * 16000 >>> len(x[34000:34100]) # slice notation 100 >>> len(x[34000, 34100]) # trying to index with a tuple Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? TypeError: string indices must be integers Is that all there is to this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Reinhold Birkenfeld (birkenfeld) Date: 2005-06-23 18:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Did you actually try this with "indices" below 32k? It won't work there, either. Reason: The syntax for slices is x[y:z], not x[y,z]. The latter calls __getitem__ with the tuple (y,z) as the second argument. Closing as Invalid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1226404&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
