Fellow Pythonists; I am totally puzzled on the use of slicing on mapping types and especially unsure on use of the Ellipsis... and slicing syntax that has two or more groups seperated by comma.
I am referring to (from the manual); Slice objects Slice objects are used to represent slices when extended slice syntax is used. This is a slice using two colons, or multiple slices or ellipses separated by commas, e.g., a[i:j:step], a[i:j, k:l], or a[..., i:j]. They are also created by the built-in slice() function. A quick example on how this is used and/or pointer to more reading is greatly appreciated.
