del is not so flexible as assignement >>> cmpr = [bytearray(i.encode('ascii')) for i in ('abcd', 'efgh', 'ijkl')] >>> cmpr [bytearray(b'abcd'), bytearray(b'efgh'), bytearray(b'ijkl')] >>> cmpr[0][::-2] = cmpr[1][::2] = cmpr[2][1::2] = () >>> cmpr [bytearray(b'ac'), bytearray(b'fh'), bytearray(b'ik')] >>> ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12606> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
