I don't know what they're "meant" to be, but they're certainly not internal. If you implement __getitem__, __setitem__, or __delitem__, then chances are Python is going to be passing slices to your code. That doesn't sound internal to me. Having hashable slices is nice. The repr() workaround has a major drawback in that it makes it difficult to use the extremely useful "indices" method of the slice type. ---------- nosy: +exarkun _____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1733184> _____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
