Does anyone here use slices (or range/xrange) with negative strides other than -1?
E.g. sequence[2:15:-3] If so, there is a discussion (long, long, looooooong discussion) on the python-ideas mailing list, debating whether or not to deprecate or change the behaviour of slicing with negative strides. So if you care about the current behaviour, now is the time to stand up and be counted. (Standing up *here* is fine, don't feel that you have to join yet another list.) -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
