I often find that when working with pandas and numpy I want to store slice objects in variables to pass around and re-use; however, the syntax for constructing a slice literal outside of an indexer is very different from the syntax used inside of a subscript. This patch proposes the following change:

    slice.literal

This would be a singleton instance of a class that looks like:

class sliceliteral(object):
    def __getitem__(self, key):
        return key


The basic idea is to provide an alternative constructor to 'slice' that uses the subscript syntax. This allows people to write more understandable code.

Consider the following examples:

reverse = slice(None, None, -1)
reverse = slice.literal[::-1]

all_rows_first_col = slice(None), slice(0)
all_rows_first_col = slice.literal[:, 0]

first_row_all_cols_but_last = slice(0), slice(None, -1)
first_row_all_cols_but_last = slice.literal[0, :-1]


Again, this is not intended to make the code shorter, instead, it is designed to make it more clear what the slice object your are constructing looks like.

Another feature of the new `literal` object is that it is not limited to just the creation of `slice` instances; instead, it is designed to mix slices and other types together. For example:

>>> slice.literal[0]
0
>>> slice.literal[0, 1]
(0, 1)
>>> slice.literal[0, 1:]
(0, slice(1, None, None)
>>> slice.literal[:, ..., ::-1]
(slice(None, None, None), Ellipsis, slice(None, None, -1)

These examples show that sometimes the subscript notation is much more clear that the non-subscript notation.
I believe that while this is trivial, it is very convinient to have on the slice type itself so that it is quickly available. This also prevents everyone from rolling their own version that is accesible in different ways (think Py_RETURN_NONE).
Another reason that chose this aproach is that it requires no change to the syntax to support.

There is a second change proposed here and that is to 'slice.__repr__'. This change makes the repr of a slice object match the new literal syntax to make it easier to read.

>>> slice.literal[:]
slice.literal[:]
>>> slice.literal[1:]
slice.literal[1:]
>>> slice.literal[1:-1]
slice.literal[1:-1]
>>> slice.literal[:-1]
slice.literal[:-1]
>>> slice.literal[::-1]
slice.literal[::-1]

This change actually affects old behaviour so I am going to upload it as a seperate patch. I understand that the change to repr much be less desirable than the addition of 'slice.literal'

Why not index the slice type itself? slice[1:2]

> Another feature of the new `literal` object is that it is not limited to just the creation of `slice` instances; instead, it is designed to mix slices and other types together.

This looks as disadvantage.

I'm with Serhiy, I don't think we need a "literal", just make slice itself indexable:

reverse = slice(None, None, -1)
reverse = slice[::-1]

The only question in my mind is what slice should do when given just a single index:

slice[0]

I suppose that should be a ValueError?
msg244819 - (view) Author: Mark Dickinson (mark.dickinson) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-06-04 13:23
For prior art, it's worth taking a look at NumPy, and in particular its `s_` and `index_exp` functions:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.s_[1:2]
slice(1, 2, None)
>>> np.s_[0]
0
>>> np.s_[1:2, 3]
(slice(1, 2, None), 3)

> Why not index the slice type itself? slice[1:2]

I originally considered this and I personally really like this syntax, but I was concerned with ambiguity with the typing module

> The only question in my mind is what slice should do when given just a single index

I think some of the power of this concept comes from the fact that I can express a complicated indexer without worrying about how it desugars. I would personally prefer being able to have this return tuples and scalars so that the syntax is easier to explain.

(This should probably be discussed on the Python Ideas mailing list...)

I definitely like the idea of being able to construct slices etc. using "[]" syntax. I think this should be considered even if it is decided not to change the repr() of slices.

An important note here is that this is about more than slices:

$ python3
Python 3.4.2 (default, Feb 23 2015, 21:16:28)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 5.1 (clang-503.0.40)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> class A:
...     def __getitem__(self, *args):
...         print(repr(args))
...
>>> a = A()
>>> a[0]
(0,)
>>> a[0:1]
(slice(0, 1, None),)
>>> a[0:1, ..., 1:2]
((slice(0, 1, None), Ellipsis, slice(1, 2, None)),)
>>> a[0:1, 2]
((slice(0, 1, None), 2),)

Indeed, Joe's suggested slice.literal supports all of this, but we can't just modify slice to handle all of these cases.

What I'm missing is a way to use such an object to actually index/slice something. The only way I can currently think of is using a.__getitem__(), but that's quite ugly IMO.

> What I'm missing is a way to use such an object to actually index/slice something

Sorry, I am not sure I understand what you mean by this? You can pass a slice object, or a tuple of slices in subscript notation.

>>> [1, 2, 3, 4][slice(2)]
[1, 2]


Also, I am not currently subscribed to python-ideas; what is the common practice for posting new threads?
msg245082 - (view) Author: Tal Einat (taleinat) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-06-09 19:17
(see https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas)

But for x = [1,2,3,4], how will x[y] work for all of the following values of y?

y = slice.literal[0]
y = slice.literal[1:2]
y = slice.literal[0:1, ..., 3]

NumPy's s_ "magic object" is a factory, returning objects of different types depending on the given input. If you want an actual slice.literal class, then you'll have to supply a way to convert it into an object usable for indexing/slicing, e.g.:

y = slice.literal[0:1]
[1,2,3,4][y.as_indexer]
msg245131 - (view) Author: Joe Jevnik (llllllllll) * Date: 2015-06-10 15:24
>>> slice.literal[0]
0
>>> y = slice.literal[1:2]
slice(1, 2, None)
>>> slice.literal[0:1, ..., 3]
(slice(0, 1, None), Ellipsis, 3)

The way this object works right now does not create instances of some inner class of slice, instead, indexing it returns the key without modification.
msg245133 - (view) Author: Tal Einat (taleinat) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-06-10 15:52
So, is this in any ways different than NumPy's s_?
msg245134 - (view) Author: Joe Jevnik (llllllllll) * Date: 2015-06-10 15:57
It is a singleton, does not accept the `maketuple` flag, and is written in C. I did not know about the s_ attribute of numpy before writing this; however, I still think that moving this object to slice improves code clarity (s_ is not a super clear name). I also think that this behaviour belongs on the slice object.
msg245657 - (view) Author: Joe Jevnik (llllllllll) * Date: 2015-06-22 22:18

The are is a reference loop:

    global instance -> type -> method -> module globals -> global instance

Since an instance doesn't have GC head if __slots__ is empty, the loop can't be broken.

A workaround is to add a stub element to __slots__:

    __slots__ = ('__stub__',)

But operator.subscript is not the only class that causes a reference leak. Any class with empty __slots__ can create a loop and cause a leak.
msg253902 - (view) Author: Martin Panter (martin.panter) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-11-02 09:58
On the mailing list, Antoine also suggested removing __slots__ completely as another workaround. I agree that it doesn’t seem important for a singleton, though in the review comments a couple people seemed to want __slots__.
msg254031 - (view) Author: Josh Rosenberg (josh.r) * (Python triager) Date: 2015-11-03 23:52
Martin: I think the primary reason I suggested an empty __slots__ was to avoid people doing dumb stuff like attaching attributes to the singleton, and then getting annoyed if support for them was removed in some future release (e.g. if this ever moved to C for whatever reason), or expecting them to survive pickling, what have you. The memory savings (if any) would be negligible, it was just to avoid future compatibility concerns.

Serhiy: If we add a stub slot, presumably it should be __stub, not __stub__, the former getting the private member name mangling protection while the latter would not (and the latter might give the impression it was some sort of special method/attribute when it was not).

> and the latter might give the impression it was some sort of special method/attribute when it was not.

Wouldn't adding this be special because it is specifically reserved by CPython as an implementation detail?

Also, would adding this name (__stub or __stub__) be sufficient to get this patch merged again. I would not mind investigating the gc_head issue after but I view that as a separate issue which is only exercised by this patch.
msg272773 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2016-08-15 15:56
Raymond, adding a stub element to __slots__ fixes a leak. Is this enough to push the patch again?

We should open a separate issue for leaks in objects with empty __slots__.

When I first looked at this a year ago, I thought it seemed like a reasonable idea and might be useful.  Since that time, I've haven't encountered any situations whether this would have improved my or someone else's code.  And now, I can't even dream up any scenarios where ``operator.subscript[3:7:2]`` would be better than ``slice(3, 7, 2)``.   Accordingly, I think we should re-evaluate whether there is any real benefit to be had by adding this to the standard library.  Perhaps, we're better off without it.

For that specific example, I completely agree. But I think that in 
general ``slice[::-1]`` is better than either the current alternative 
``slice(None, None, -1)`` or the proposed ``operator.subscript[::-1]``.

And there's no comparison once you get to multi-dimensional slices:

    s = slice[::-1, 1:, 1::2]
    spam[s] + eggs[s]

versus:

    s = slice(slice(None, None, -1), slice(1, None), slice(1, None, 2))
    spam[s] + eggs[s]

Even simple examples look nice in slice syntax:

    slice[3:7:2]

I had completely forgotten about this feature request, but 
coincidentally re-suggested it on the Python-Ideas mailing 
list earlier today:

https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2016-November/043630.html

The downside is that beginners who are still learning Python's 
syntax may try writing:

    slice(::-1)

by mistake. Nevertheless, it seems to me that the advantage to more 
experienced developers to be able to read and write slice objects using 
slice format outweighs the temporary confusion to beginners. (I would 
expect that outside of the Numpy community, few beginners use the 
slice() object directly, so this would not often affect them.)

Here is a new patch that does not cause refleaks, I just replaced empty __slots__ with a __setattr__: it looks like __slots__ are not needed here to save memory (there is only a singleton instance), they were used just to create an immutable object.

I don't think this is appropriate for 3.6 now.

Actually I'm with Raymond -- I'm also not sure or mildly against (-0).
Given how easy it is to do without and how cumbersome using the operator
module is I don't see a great benefit. (IMO the operator module should be
the measure of *last* resort -- it is not to become part of anybody's
toolkit for common operators. But I seem to be a minority opinion here.)

msg321966 - (view) Author: Stephan Hoyer (Stephan Hoyer) * Date: 2018-07-19 20:54
Raymond, Tal and Guido -- do any of you work routinely with multi-dimensional arrays?

In my experience as someone who uses Python everyday for numerical computing (and has been doing so for many years), the need for an operator like this comes up with some regularity. With multi-dimensional indexing, this allows lets you cut down quite a bit on boilerplate, e.g., compare

  subscript[:, 0, ::-1] vs (slice(None), 0, slice(None, None, -1))

It's absolutely true that subscript is an easy four line recipe, and indeed a form of this recipe is already included in both NumPy and pandas. But I think this is a case where the lack of a common idiom is actively harmful. I do multi-dimensional indexing in using at least four different libraries (pandas, xarray, numpy and tensorflow), and it feels wrong to use a utility from numpy/pandas for other projects. I could write my own version of operator.subscript in each project (and yes, I've done so before), but for any individual use case it's less hassle to write things out the long way. 

In practice, the preferred way to write such long expressions seems to be to redundantly repeat indexing operations, e.g.,

  x[:, 0, ::-1]
  y[:, 0, ::-1]

rather than

  index = subscript[:, 0, ::-1]
  x[index]
  y[index]

This is definitely non-ideal from a readability perspective. It's no longer immediately clear that these arrays are being indexed in the same way, and any changes would need to be applied twice.

> Raymond, Tal and Guido -- do any of you work routinely with multi-dimensional arrays?

Hi Stephan Hoyer,

IMHO a *closed* issue is not the most appropriate place to request Guido to change his mind. You may get more traction on python-ideas where you may find more supporters who need the operator.

The question is not only if the operator makes sense (obviously, it does, for you), but if it "belongs" to the standard library. Is it popular enough? Is it consistent with other functions of the operator module? etc.
