Hi,
I was looking for a facility similar to slices in python library that would
avoid the implicit creation of a new list and copy of elements that is the
default behaviour. Instead I'd rather have a lazy iteratable object on the
original sequence. Well, in the end I wrote it myself but I was wondering if
I missed sth in the library. If I didn't is there a particular reason there
isn't sth like that? I find it hard to believe that all slice needs have
strictly copy semantics.
I suspect that itertools is your friend, specifically itertools.islice
