Steven D'Aprano added the comment: I'm with Serhiy, I don't think we need a "literal", just make slice itself indexable:
reverse = slice(None, None, -1) reverse = slice[::-1] The only question in my mind is what slice should do when given just a single index: slice[0] I suppose that should be a ValueError? ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24379> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
