Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Sebastien de Menten (sdementen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: slice indices different than integers Initial Comment: Hi, Slice notation is quite convenient while addressing some item in a collection. It would be nice to extend this notation by enabling any object instead of integer in slices. Example 1: let time_serie be an object representing a time serie and date and days object that manages dates and concept of days interval, one could indexed time_serie with: time_serie[date(2004,3,4):date(2004,5,3)] or time_serie[date(2004,3,4):date(2004,5,3):days(5)] Example 2: Let f be a numerical function with multiple arguments, one could get an array of results by using f[3:10:2, 1:5:3] or naturally :-) f[3.2:10.1:0.4, 1:5:3] Well, I think it is a matter of removing the check on argument of slices to enable the syntactic sugar start:end:step in __getitem__ calls as well as adding integer checks on slice attributes when using it in old way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1191697&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
