> What are the potential benefits or drawbacks for the user? The only potential drawback that I can see is that it prevents you from distinguishing a sequence from mapping by 'accidentally' passing a slice. The major benefit for users is that they will have a decent speed up on their slice access. Other than that, I can think of some scenarios where the slice objects can be usable. One thing that I just came up with is this example (https://gist.github.com/isidentical/a799c4ae5c318bb7ac1a9f101cb709c7). I don't claim that we are implementing this to support these kinds of obscure cases, but it doesn't hurt anyone (beside maybe become a little bit confusing for a second) and doesn't look odd when used with a decent purpose. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42454> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
