FAQ?

Hello,

Is there an FAQ available specific to this NG as I'm sure some of the
list slicing questions I have have been asked before.

Thanks,
KPB

Try Google for <python FAQ>. I don't know why you would want to look in
a FAQ *specific* to a newsgroup to look up slicing questions, since
slicing has little to do with the newsgroup. A more general Python FAQ
will be more helpful.

I tried and didn't find one. That's why I asked here.

I have a specific question about list slicing and this is a python NG.
What's not to understand?

I thought this was a python NG.

A more general FAQ (or the stuff I've accessed on slicing) didn't answer
my question.

It doesn't matter now. I've since found the answer.

Is your attitude indicitive of most people on this NG or are you just
one of those NG guys who gets off on making the new people feel stupid?
If it's the former, I'll just go away. If it's the latter, I'll *PLONK*
you.

surprising as the first (for me at least on googgle.com) response is:
www.python.org/doc/faq/

Michael answer could be subtitled as: "if the faq is wider that the
newsgroup, then you have more probability to find an answer."
A more general FAQ (or the stuff I've accessed on slicing) didn't answer
my question.


If, after looking for information on your own you did not find a
solution, it may mean that you are ready to post a question :-)

my 2 cents

When I Google for <Python FAQ>, almost all of the search results on the
first page are Python FAQs. The third link even has a "newsgroup" FAQ
although I doubt it is what you want, even though you said otherwise.

Therefore I asked a question on why you want a *newsgroup* FAQ when it
sounds like you want a *Python* FAQ, so that I and others could
potentially be more helpful in answering your unasked question.

I can't understand why you think your list slicing problem is specific
to the newsgroup and not to Python.
Is your attitude indicitive of most people on this NG or are you just
one of those NG guys who gets off on making the new people feel stupid?
If it's the former, I'll just go away.


If that's the way you respond to people who are trying to help you,
please do so.

Seems to me there is a slight misunderstanding here.

Some newsgroups publish a FAQ, based on the questions that are asked in
it. These FAQ are often related to the subject of the NG, not
specifically the NG and its mechanics.

It is advised, when someone wants to post in these kind of NG, to check
if their question is not yet answered in the FAQ published by the NG on
the subject.

Therefore, I think the OP was checking if there was such a FAQ on Python
published specifically in c.l.python besides the ones he already found
on the web.
