I don't find this intuitive. Is this intentional? I believe this could
be avoided if list.__getitem_ _ used "self.__class__ ()" to make a new
instance, instead of "list()", but I don't know how that works under
the hood in C.
I believe this happens a lot of other cases too. Actually, I wrote up
some test cases at http://brodierao.com/etc/listslice/ but I haven't
taken a look at it in quite a while. I believe there's some other
funky stuff going on there as well.
Also, this happens with dict too:
>>class DictyThing(dict ): pass
....
>>assert isinstance(Dict yThing().copy() , DictyThing) # I expect True!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AssertionError
>>type(DictyThi ng().copy()) # I expect DictyThing!
<type 'dict'>

This may have been asked before but I can't find it. If I have
a rectangular list of lists, say, l = ,,], is
there a handy syntax for retrieving the ith item of every sublist?
I know about for i in l] but I was hoping for something more
like l.

Sorry if this is a repost -- it didn't appear for me the first time.
So I was looking at the Language Reference's discussion about emulating
container types, and nowhere in it does it mention that .keys() is
part of the container protocol. Because of this, I would assume that to
use UserDict.DictMixin correctly, a class would only need to define
__getitem__, __setitem__, __delitem__ and __iter__. So why does

Many people I know ask why Python does slicing the way it does.....
Can anyone /please/ give me a good defense/justification???
I'm referring to why mystring gives me
elements 0, 1, 2 and 3 but *NOT* mystring (5th element).
Many people don't like idea that 5th element is not invited.

Hi all,
Is there a simple python function to return the list index of the
minimum entry in a list of lists?
ie, for , , ] to return 2,4.
Or, same question but just for a list of numbers, not a list of lists.
Thanks,

I want to subclass list so that each value in it is calculated at call
time. I had initially thought I could do that by defining my own
__getitem__, but 1) apparently that's deprecated (although I can't
find that; got a link?), and 2) it doesn't work.
For example:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
