Raymond Hettinger added the comment: In regular Python, the ellipsis isn't used for slicing. It does have special meaning for numpy. So, I think the docs may be correct as is. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker https://bugs.python.org/issue31795 _______________________________________

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

Can we add an example of its usage in Numpy to the docs?

I don't think we should. In CPython, the ellipsis has no interesting semantics. It is something that third-party modules can use however they wish. It doesn't make sense for CPython docs to cover their usage. ---------- resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker https://bugs.python.org/issue31795 _______________________________________
