Hi,

In the current documentation at http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#memoryview, the first example announces : 

>>> v = memoryview('abcefg')
>>> v[1]
'b'
>>> v[-1]
'g'
>>> v[1:4]
<memory at 0x77ab28>
>>> str(v[1:4])
'bce'

Trying to reproduce this example I got : 

$ python
Python 2.7 (r27:82500, Jul 13 2010, 17:48:51) 
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> v = memoryview('abcefg')
>>> v[1]
'b'
>>> v[-1]
'g'
>>> v[1:4]
<memory at 0xa2a510>
>>> str(v[1:4])
'<memory at 0xa2a5a8>'

The last line of the example in the documentation is not reproducible. Hope it's only a documentation issue.

Bye,
Carl Chenet
