I also like it, but it does not work quite so simply for me.
row = tuple(range(20)) cPID = slice(15) pid = row[cPID] pid
(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
This works -
row = tuple(range(20)) cPID = slice(15, 16) pid, = row[cPID] # note the trailing comma pid
15
Still nice, but not quite so elegant. Am I missing something? Frank Millman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
