For Python 2.5 and new-style classes, what special method is called for mylist[2:4] = seq and for del mylist[2:4] (given that mylist is a list, and seq is some sequence)?
I'm trying to subclass list, and I'm having trouble determining what special methods I have to override in my class for the above two operations. From my testing, it seems to be __setslice__ for both, but the docs say __setslice__ and brethren are deprecated. I would have thought that __setitem__ and __delitem__ would be what was called, but again, my testing says otherwise. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
