The __doc__ string for the slice function is wrong.

>>> slice.__doc__
'slice([start,] step[, stop]) -> slice object
Create a slice object.  This is used for slicing by the Numeric extensions.'

versus the library reference:

slice ([start,] stop[, step]) 
    Return a slice object representing the set of indices specified by
range(start, stop, step)....

The actual behaviour matches that described in the library reference.
