[New-bugs-announce] [issue44538] ast.Slice 3.9.6 documentation bug

[Tim]

New submission from Tim <tim.baer at c3.ai>:

Based off the ast 3.9.6 documentation  (https://docs.python.org/3/library/ast.html), we would expect `Slice` to inherit from `expr`. However, looking at `ast.Slice.__mro__` produces the following output: `(<class '_ast.Slice'>, <class '_ast.slice'>, <class '_ast.AST'>, <class 'object'>)`.

It appears that instead of inheriting from `expr`, `Slice` inherits from `slice` which appears to be a deprecated type.
