Why is this not working ?
bla = 'hondenriem'
print bla[0:4] # correct ! (= hond)

Why don't bla[3:2] and bla[6:3] won't work ?
I use this version:
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/introduction.html#strings
word = 'HelpA'
word[4]
'A'
word[0:2]
'He'
word[2:4]
'lp'
The 2nd number in a slice is the final position, not the number
of characters:
>>> bla = 'hondenriem'
>>> print bla[0:4]
hond
>>> print bla[3:2] # returns nothing
>>> print bla[3:3+2] # returns 2 characters from pos 3-5
de
>>> print bla[6:6+3] # returns 3 characters from pos 6-9
