If, like me, you're always forgetting which way around your list/seq
slices need to go then worry no more. Just put my handy "slice
lookupper" (TM) ) on a (large!) PostIt beside your screen and, Hey
Presto! no more tediously typing a 1-9 seq into your interpreter and
then getting a slice just to check what you get.. (Yes you. You know
you do that !) ... Cheers Steve
x = '0123456789'

Actually, I don't. I just remember that, for a natural (positive
nonzero) number y:
x[:y] is the first y elements
x[-y:] is the last y elements
As shown here:
>>x = range(5)
x
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>x[:2]
[0, 1]
>>x[-2:]
[3, 4]
>>>
And I just work it out from there.
Just my method for remembering slices, that happens to work pretty well
for me.

Can anyone explain the logic behind the behavior of list slicing with
negative strides? For example:
>>> print range(10)
I found this result very surprising, and would just like to see the
rules written down somewhere.
Thanks,

Why does slicing a tuple returns a new tuple instead of a view of the existing one, given that
tuples are immutable ? I ended up writing a custom ImmutableSequence class that does this, but I
wonder why it is not implemented for tuples.

I'm for the moment writing two classes.
A table, which is like a list, but can start at any integer.
A tree which is like a dictionary, but will iterate over the
keys in sorted order.
The problem is that I would like to implemet slices but, that
seems to be impossible with how slices are implemented now.

(Exporting ImageReady slices as CSS rather than tables) apparently means it'll work just fine in Firefox, but do wacky stuff in IE?
Can anyone help me figure out why on earth the slices are not showing up in their proper places in IE(7)?
The button bar I created is perfectly set up in Firefox, but when I preview in IE, not so much. The slices have weird spaces in between.
Why.....?
Any help greatly appreciated. Thx.

The following is part of the explanation on slices in the
tutorial:
The best way to remember how slices work is to think of the indices as
pointing between characters, with the left edge of the first character
numbered 0. Then the right edge of the last character of a string of n
characters has index n, for example:
+---+---+---+---+---+

I'm very new to using CSS and also the concept of slices for mouse-overs, and have made my first attempt at using ImageReady to generate slices of a world map. I basically wanted a map that would show various countries appearing to be depressed when "moused-over". To keep it simple at first, I just decided to try two countries.
After copying the HTML and JavaScript codes generated by ImageReady into the page I wanted to insert the map into,...

That xpairs() generator is nice, but it's not the best possible code
What do you mean by best possible? Most efficient? Most readable? And
why don't you use islice?
