I hope that's now what it says about slices -- that was meant for dict displays. For slices it should be symmetrical. In this case I would remove the spaces around the +, but it's okay to add spaces around the : too. It does look odd to have an operator that binds tighter (the +) surrounded by spaces while the operator that binds less tight (:) is not.

The same oddity occurs with expressions in kwargs calls:

func(pos1, pos2, keyword=foo + bar)

I find myself wanting to add parentheses arround the + to make the code clearer.
