Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
What you are or should be asking for is an alternate string representation method, perhaps called 'colon', so that for instance myslice.colon() == '::2' The function could take an optional length (as with .indices, but optional) to produce the same numbers as .indices. myslice.colon(8) == '0:8:2' slice(0, -1, 3).colon(14) == '0:13:3' I suspect that something like this has been asked before. I suggest you post to python-ideas list to see if there is any support and any better idea for the name. ---------- components: +Interpreter Core nosy: +terry.reedy stage: -> test needed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42352> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
