In addition to the other answers: Libraries like NumPy define a helper factory for slices, e.g. ```python >>> import numpy as np >>> np.s_[1:10] slice(1, 10, None) ```
You can do the same in your library. Equally, you don't have to return a slice — you might want to return a "Range" object as mentioned by other posters. Personally, I don't think there needs to be a more concise syntax — people rarely need bare slice objects by themselves. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/UVVWF6ATUI7CC7NJJK7I45RPXQANKCYB/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
