It's behaving as designed and documented; see the docs here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#sequence-types-list-tuple-range (and particularly note 3). In your first example, the first `-1` in `x[1:-1:-1]` is interpreted relative to the end of the list, so `x[1:-1:-1]` is equivalent to `x[1:9:-1]`. `x[1::-1]` may give you what you want for the first case. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43580> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
