- `[]` - used for list comprehension, - `()` - used for generators, - `[start:stop]` / `[start:stop:step]` - used for slices. The idea is to use `(start:stop)` / `(start:stop:step)` as 'lazy evaluated' slices (like itertools.islice). What do you think about it?
a(b) is already used for function calls. Making a(b:c) be something unreleated does not seem like a good idea to me. At present, a[b:c] == a[slice(b,c)]. However, a(slice(b,c)) is already a function call and could not equal a(b:c).
