Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

I think the issue is than slice constructor accepts integer out of Py_ssize_t 
range. And more, it accepts any objects, not only integers or None.

>>> slice(3.4, 'a', {})
slice(3.4, 'a', {})

May be we should disallow creating of such doubtful slices and raise TypeError 
or OverflowError.
