There is one thing I'd like to see changed in a future python. I always found it surprising, that >>> x = [1,2,3,4,5] >>> x[1:10] [2, 3, 4, 5]
is not an error. This is perhaps the only case (but a fundamental one!) where an error is silently ignored. I really can't think of a good justification for it. If I really meant x[1:] I would have said so. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
