Hello all, I was staring at a segment of code that looked like this today:
for something in stuff[x:y]: whatever(something) and was wondering if the compiler really made a copy of the slice from stuff as the code seems to suggest, or does it find some way to produce an iterator without the need to make a copy (if stuff is a built-in sequence type)? Or would it be more efficient to do the more clumsy (in my opinion): for i in xrange(x, y): whatever(stuff[i]) James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
