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.
Thanks
