[snip] Yes, it certainly is self-explanatory. And, I appreciate your response. However, my question pertains to advanced use of the slicing features which I have found to be not totally explained in the docs. The use of [start:stop:step] on sequence types is NOT unclear to me at all. I'd like to know; 1. what the Ellipsis object or ... syntax is used for 2. what a slice [..., j:k:l] does 3. how slices are applied to object of mapping types Thank you -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jerry Sievers 305 854-3001 (home) WWW ECommerce Consultant 305 321-1144 (mobile http://www.JerrySievers.com/ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jerry Sievers 305 854-3001 (home) WWW ECommerce Consultant 305 321-1144 (mobile http://www.JerrySievers.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
