__getslice __setslice__ and __delslice__ have been deprecated since version 2.0, seven versions ago. http://docs.python.org/reference/datamodel.html#object.__getslice__ You should use __getitem__ __setitem__ and __delitem__, and detect if your argument is an integer or a slice object, and behave accordingly. http://docs.python.org/reference/datamodel.html#object.__getitem__ -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
