I can see that the slice() function can pass in arbitrary arguments.
I'm not sure for lists, which is what the range is applied to, why an
argument like "a" would be part of a slice.
Well, in my dbf.py Record class you can use the names of fields as the slice arguments, instead of
having to remember the offsets. record['full_name':'zip4'] returns a tuple (or a list, I don't
remember) of about 13 fields -- this is especially useful as that block of fields might not be in
the same place in each table.
