I would like to challenge your assertion that advancing ob_item instead of doing memmove during list_ass_slice would impact the performance of list accesses in any way. It would only slow down operations that add/insert items into the list by, and then only by a single conditional statement, and those add/insert operations are already O(N) to begin with. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
