>Summary: 2.2a1: Overriding __setslice__

Initial Comment:
Overwriting list.__setslice__ in derived
classes doesn't seem to work in 2.2a1:
----
class C(list):
   def __setslice__(*args):
      list.__setslice__(*args)

c = list((1,2,3,4))
c[1:3] = [5, 6]
print c

c = C((1,2,3,4))
c[1:3] = [5, 6]
print c
----
Output:
[1, 5, 6, 4]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 10, in ?
    c[1:3] = [5, 6]
TypeError: function takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)

You're right!  To fix: in file typeobject.c, function
slot_sq_ass_slice(), change "__setitem__" to
"__setslice__".  Then all will be fine.

Fixed in CVS, typeobject.c:2.16.8.68.
