Thank you. but it can't support negative index :-(

The negative index is handled by the line, "yield seq[i]".

s[-2:-5:-1] == ''.join(myslice(s, -2, -5, -1))
True
s[-5:-2:1] == ''.join(myslice(s, -5, -2, 1))
True

But not always:

py> s[10:-1:1]==''.join(myslice(s, 10, -1, 1))
False
py> s[-10:25:1]==''.join(myslice(s, -10, 25, 1))
False

You have to take the sequence length into account before computing the range, not after.
