Reading:
http://docs.python.org/ref/slicings.html
it would seem to indicate that the ff will work:
L=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
however, you get:
>>> l[3:4:,5:8:]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#153>", line 1, in ?
l[3:4:,5:8:]
TypeError: list indices must be integers
in Python 2.3... are they only available in 2.4?
Also,
http://www.python.org/doc/2.3/whatsnew/section-slices.html
mentions that:
"Ever since Python 1.4, the slicing syntax
has supported an optional third 'step' or 'stride'
argument. For example, these are all legal Python syntax:
L[1:10:2], L[:-1:1], L[::-1]."
and yet, we see in:
http://pyds.muensterland.org/weblog/2004/12/25.html
that something as simple as:
l = range(0,10)
print l[1:5] # this works
print l[1:5:2] # this barfs
fails in Python 2.2. What gives?
