The following are apparently legal Python syntactically: L[1:3, 8:10] L[1, ..., 5:-2]
But they don't seem to work on lists: >>> l = [0,1,2,3] >>> l[0:2,3] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: list indices must be integers >>> l[...] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: list indices must be integers So where is this extended slicing used? -- Rodney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
