 | __getitem__(self, i): used for subscripting: b = a[i] |
| __setitem__(self, i, v): used for subscripting: a[i] = v |
| __delitem__(self, i): used for deleting: del a[i] |
| These three functions are also used for slices: a[p:q:r] implies that i is a slice object with attributes start (p), stop (q) and step (r) b = a[:-1] # implies b = a.__getitem__(i) isinstance(i, slice) is True i.start is None i.stop is -1 i.step is None |
