New submission from Marijn Schouten <hk...@gentoo.org>:
startswith and endswith don't accept None as slice index, as shown by below
interaction. Same behavior for python-3.1.3(with print()) and python-2.7.1. If
instead this is intended behavior then the error message is wrong.
$ python -c "print 'abc'[-1:None]"
c
$ python -c "print 'abc'.endswith('c',-1,None)"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: slice indices must be integers or None or have an __index__ method
