`slice(start, stop, step).indices()` uses slice_indices in Objects/sliceobject.c . I checked the function docs https://docs.python.org/2.7/c-api/slice.html#c.PySlice_GetIndices and it states below > You probably do not want to use this function. If you want to use slice > objects in versions of Python prior to 2.3, you would probably do well to > incorporate the source of PySlice_GetIndicesEx(), suitably renamed, in the > source of your extension. I couldn't see it's usage too anywhere and with Python 3 we have all integers are implemented as “long” integer objects of arbitrary size and can see only PyLong_Check at https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Objects/sliceobject.c#L178 Thanks ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34229> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
