This works, but it seems like there should be a better way.

week = ['sun','mon','tue','wed','thu','fri','sat']

I think you should provide much more information, primarily why you
want to do this. What is the larger goal you are trying to achieve?
I am just looking for a less verbose, more elegant, way to print a
slice of a list.
week[2:5] # ;-)
If you want the interpreter to turn non-ints into ints for you, you will
have to give it some sort of function or mapping to use.
dayint = {day:i for i,day in enumeratr(week)} # works in Py3 at least
week[dayint['tue']:dayint['fri']]
# or, untested, basing attrodic on memory of posted code
class attrodic(): #py3
def __init__(self, dic):
self.__dict__.update(dic)
di = attrodic(week)
week[di.tue:di.fri]
Most elegant, and most setup work ;-).
