Python 2.7.8 Win7Pro >>> str = "0123456789" >>> str[-1] '9' >>> str[-3:-1] '78' >>> str[-3:] '789'
I understand that the above is "the way it is" in Python, but I am puzzled why the designers did not choose that str[-3:-1] returns '789', especially since str[-1] returns '9'. What is the reason for choosing Python's actual behavior? -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
