[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] 2D slices of 1D array

[Martin Szummer]

The following slice of a 1D array surprised me:

>>> c = array([1,2,3,4,5])
>>> c
1 2 3 4 5
>>> c[1:3, :]
EmptyArray

I was expecting either 1,2,3 or an error.
Is there any rational for this?  
The behavior is the same for higher dimensional arrays as well.

(This is using Numeric 1.06a and Python 1.4)
