No, I didn't know that. I've never dealt with slices, just individual items. Actually, I don't know if I can check for that. I can check for the presence of a method, but not its semantics. Unless I call the method and see what it does with a slice, but that would be silly and potentially disruptive. > Incidentally, what's that '__slice__' thing you're checking for in > https://bitbucket.org/bbangert/webhelpers/changeset/556b55e75dd6#chg_webhelpers/paginate.py_newline215 > ? docs.python.org has no knowledge of it. Oh, that should be .__getslice__ . Maybe that's causing some of the SQLAlchemy complications (but not all of them). -- Mike Orr <sluggos...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
