Talk:Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python 2.6/Revenge of the Strings

I think that the example under is broken. It is very pleasing visually, so we have reused it in our text about Python for students, http://brain.fuw.edu.pl/edu/TI:Indeksowanie_napisu. But when using a negative stride the idea that indexes point before the items does not work. E.g. 'STRING'[-1:-2:-1]=='G' but 'STRING'[-1:-2:-1]=='N'. So the only way to explain this, is to say that the left bound is inclusive, and the right edge is exclusive.

I would make this change in the example, but it would be quite extensive, and I don't want to mess things up. --ZbySz (talk) 09:36, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Commented examples
When fixing a small typo I noticed that a huge portion of the article is commented. Why is the typing excercise and following explanation commented out? 78.102.164.9 (discuss) 19:19, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
