Accepting a slice directly in the range constructor is ambiguous. What to do if start or stop are negative or None? What if stop is less than start? You need to specify a sequence length to handle these cases. Maybe the following expressions work for you: range(length)[s] or range(*s.indices(length)) But other users may need different behavior (if they want convert slice(-20, -10) to range(-20, -10)). There is no general solution which would work for all, you have to code what you need. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger, serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46312> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
