following all the later discussion, I'd like to come back to this initial part of this thread: An even briefer for for just "str" would be to omit the 'slice' part str(slice(None, None, None)) => "[:]" etc. Since it has colons in there, it's clear it is a slice. And it is very brief notation. -Alexander
