Given that it's a straightforward generalization of the existing slicing syntax, it sure does make sense from a theoretical standpoint. Whether it's a worthy addition is debatable though; I don't think there are many common use cases to convince the core developers to work on it. OTOH if you (or someone else) comes up with a working patch, it might improve its chances of getting accepted. George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
