More simply, this is at

This is actually correct as written.  Try it!

   >>> letters = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g']
   >>> letters[2:5]
   ['c', 'd', 'e']
   >>> letters[2:5] = ['C', 'D', 'E']
   >>> letters
   ['a', 'b', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'f', 'g']
   >>> letters[2:4] = ['c', 'd', 'e']
   >>> letters
   ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'E', 'f', 'g']

Remember that in Python, slicing ([2:5]) means "start at position 2,
and give me everything up to (but not including) 5", which yields the
values at indexes 2, 3, and 4.

Thanks for the report anyway, we do appreciate it.
