I keep reading that it is used in slices but every time I use it I get
'Syntax error' in 2.7 if 'Type error' in 3.2.
In python2.7:
l=range(15)
l[...:11]

I have heard that attachments to messages are not allowed on this list,
which makes sense. However I notice that messages from Peter do have an
attachment, i.e., a signature.asc file.
I'm just curious; why and how do those particular attachments get through?
And should they get through, I guess? E

In the US, at least, spaces should sort before letters.
MRAB brought up an important point. It depends on your purpose, of course,
but having all the capitalized-beginning items appear separately from all
of the lower-cased-beginning items can be very annoying to a user.
