I'm not sure that's a good idea, really.
Ah, right; I misread his proposal as saying that m[:] should return [m[0]] + list(m.groups()) (rather, I expected that m.groups() would include m.group(0)). To answer your first question: it is clearly groups that you want to index, just as the .group() method indexes groups. The typical equivalences should hold, of course, e.g. m[1:5][1] == m[2] etc. Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
