Yes, that's good! Still, I couldn't help myself and submitted a patch to support slicing:
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/ticket/686 It's all of four lines. I love Python. My need is to verify that something *is* a sequence but *is not* a dict, so without the patch, I'd have to check that it doesn't have keys and does have __getitem__... that's, like, maybe two dozen extra characters of clutter! Obviously intolerable. :) On Jul 25, 4:14 pm, "Jonathan Ellis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, the docs you link say slicing should be done via __getitem__ > now.
