Re: [Python-ideas] str(slice(10)) should return "slice(10)"

But let's make str() of a slice more suggestive of actual slicing, and as a bonus, make slices easier to create too.

str(slice(None, None, None)) => "slice[:]"

following all the later discussion, I'd like to come back to this initial part of this thread: An even briefer for for just "str" would be to omit the 'slice' part str(slice(None, None, None)) => "[:]" etc. Since it has colons in there, it's clear it is a slice. And it is very brief notation. -Alexander
