This would be a false message, as, as my report demonstrated, slice indices *can* be None. And there is a very good reason for accepting None in the second parameter in slice notation as there is no value for '-0' to represent the end of the region being sliced, and None meaning 'default' fills that need most effectively. Surely the right fix is as Barry noted, to handle None correctly within this function? __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1259> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
