| In http://docs.python.org/3.3/tutorial/introduction.html#strings: In addition to indexing, slicing is also supported. While indexing is used to obtain individual characters, slicing allows you to obtain substring: >>> word[0:2] # characters from position 0 (included) to 2 (excluded) 'Py' >>> word[2:5] # characters from position 2 (included) to 4 (excluded) 'tho' I think the second comment should be "from position 2 to 5", not "to 4". I'm a Python newbie, sorry if it's not a bug. | ||
