Re: [Python-ideas] Reducing colon uses to increase readability

The only place where I think : could be problematic is slicing. Other than that I don't see any problem. maybe this syntax would be better? sequence[start..end,step] sequence[start..,step] sequence[..end,step] sequence[start..end] ... Well, but the , would be problematic. How to distinguish between the tuple ((start..end),step) and the slice object (start..end,step)? So this syntax isn't a good idea either. However, I think ".." is much better than ":". But changing this syntax is way to problematic. This should have been done/thought about before the syntax was introduced. Now it's to late anyway. (And the current syntax isn't *that* bad.) -panzi
