Wow, funky. I found some links from when someone asked this last year: Main thread: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-November/thread.html#252683 Good posts: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-November/252614.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-November/252616.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-November/252622.html It seems that python slicing syntax supports slices like a[1, 2, ...], but no builtin types (list, string, tuple, etc) are capable of decoding slices like that. But you can implement your own classes if you want (say, if you want to implement multidimensional arrays). -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
