I just found myself writing a method like this: def __getitem__(self, index): return self.data[(Ellipsis,) + index + (slice(),)] I would have liked to write it like this: self.data[..., index, :] because that would make it much easier to see what's being done. However, that won't work if index is itself a tuple of index elements. So I'd like to be able to do this: self.data[..., *index, :] -- Greg

Yes, it appears so. Did a PEP for that ever materialise, or is everyone waiting until after the moratorium? -- Greg

It would be handy to be able to use it when making other tuples, yes. There's a particularly strong motivation for it in relation to indexes, though, because otherwise you not only end up having to use ugly (foo,) constructs, but you lose the ability to use any of the special indexing syntax. There's also a performance penalty if you end up having to look up 'slice' a bunch of times. -- Greg
