At times I heavily rely on index out of bound exceptions to reduce the number of lines necessary for error checking.
This is a downside to the negative indexing scheme -- you can't tell the difference between a backwards index and an error due to out-of-bounds indexing. Making all indexing circular would just make this problem heaps worse. I would have preferred a different syntax for backwards indexing instead of inferring it from the index value, but we're stuck with it now. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/H63U2OIFC3PIDL3SCXYO3C5BRVF24WTS/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
