The only slicing short-cut I can think of is the Ellipsis object, but it's not going to help you much here. The alternatives that come to my mind are (1) manipulation of shape directly and (2) building a string and running eval on it. Your solution is better than (1), and (2) is a horrible hack, so your solution wins again. Cheers Val
