Pretty much the same reason you would want to slice any other sequence. You want some range of values. top_most_3_dirs = myPath.parents[-3:] grandparents_and_beyond = myPath.parents[1:] The same goes for negative indexes. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35498> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
