Sorry for a typo. The paragraph before the last should read
Negative *step* fundamentally changes the algorithm:... flow[-1:None:-1].

I hope it's fine to add to closed topics here.
I agree with the decision that islice should not handle a special case of sized
containers vs iterables.
However, I think that the support of negative indices in islice would be nice.
A simple use

Hello Raymond. Many thanks for your explanation.
In this case I suggest any of the following:
1) distinguish between integer and floating numbers in scientific notation.
Definitely, 1e+6 is an integer. I can't see where else numbers in scien
New submission from Yaroslav Nikitenko :
Numbers written in scientific notation don't work with itertools.islice.
Check this script:
# a usual function works
## def works as well
f = lambda x : x
f(1e+6)
# 100.0
import itertools
# islice without scientific notation
