Just checking your intent here. What should these do? (2:5) # should give me 2, 3, 4 (2:5:-1) # infinite iterator 2, 1, 0, ...? (:5) # start at -infinity? what does that even mean? (:5:-1) # start at -infinity and go backwards?!! I suspect you should be raising some sort of exception if the start isn't defined. STeVe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
