If a 'thunderscore' is acceptable:
import itertools
class _ranger:
@classmethod
def __getitem__(self, key: slice):
if isinstance(key, slice):
if key.stop is None:
return itertools.count(key.start, key.step or 1)
return range(key.start, key.stop, key.step or 1)
return range(key)
___ = _ranger()
Trying to write it brings out lots of questions like what would [:y] do, or
[:], [::z], etc. Only [x], [x:y], [x:], [x::z], [x:y:z] seem to make sense.
