Does myString[myTuple[0] : myTuple[1]] count as unpacking? If it does,

Please don't use special method names directly and especially not
__getslice__(). It's deprecated and will be removed.
It is gone in 3.0. In 3.0, at least, and perhaps later 2.x (not sure)
the OP should simply write
myString[slice(*myTuple)]
which is the semantic equivalent of
myString[myTuple[0]:myTuple[1]]
