I was about to yell "No, don't do that, slice is a type!" when I decided I'd better make sure that's true... and found that it's NOT! Python 2.2 (#14, May 28 2002, 14:11:27) [GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> slice <built-in function slice> >>> s = slice(1,2,3) >>> s.__class__ <type 'slice'> >>> So... why *isn't* slice == <type 'slice'>?
