Hello all,
I was staring at a segment of code that looked like this today:
for something in stuff[x:y]:
whatever(something)
and was wondering if the compiler really made a copy of the slice from
stuff as the code seems to suggest, or does it find some way to produce
an iterator without the need to make a copy (if stuff is a built-in
sequence type)? Or would it be more efficient to do the more clumsy (in
my opinion):
for i in xrange(x, y):
whatever(stuff[i])
