Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: David M. Beazley (beazley) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Extended slice bug (or feature?) Initial Comment: Consider a sequence: a = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] Now, consider the following slices: b = a[:-5] # b gets [1,2,3,4,5] c = a[:-5:1] # c gets [1,2,3,4,5] d = a[:-5:-1] # d gets [10,9,8,7] Is this the intended behavior?? I would have suspected the value of d to be [5,4,3,2,1] (the same elements of c, but in reverse order). Thanks. -- Dave ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1303928&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
