I'm reading the docs and at 5.2 the del statement is discussed. At first, i thought i've found a typo but as i tried that myself, it turns it actually does work so.
a = ["alpha", "beta", "gamma"] del a[2:2] a Now, i expected the result to be that the "beta" element has been removed. Obviously, Python thinks otherwise. Why?! Elaboration: I wonder why such an unintuitive effect has been implemented. I'm sure it's for a very good reason not clear to me due to my ignorance. Alternatively - my expectations are not so intuitive as i think. :) -- Regards Konrad Viltersten -------------------------------- sleep - a substitute for coffee for the poor ambition - lack of sense to be lazy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
