Yes, that's how I "parsed" it: basically, the "two" distinct operations I see are a) simple "direct" lookup, be it either by string or by integer b) "iterative"/"nested" lookup, one hop at a time over the provided sequence But maybe I'm missing some detail on the "engine specific" implementations, where, say, "foo['string']" may be considered a very different operation than "bar[2]"... ciao, lele. -- nickname: Lele Gaifax | Quando vivrò di quello che ho pensato ieri real: Emanuele Gaifas | comincerò ad aver paura di chi mi copia. l...@metapensiero.it | -- Fortunato Depero, 1929. -- SQLAlchemy - The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ To post example code, please provide an MCVE: Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable Example.
