After discussion about extraneous whitespace around colons in a list slice not being an error on the pep8 checker project (see https://github.com/jcrocholl/pep8/issues/321#issuecomment-53649841), ncoghlan suggested filing a ticket here to get the issue added to PEP8. The issue being that PEP8 doesn't say that x = [1, 2, 3, 4] x[1: 3] is wrong. It should suggest doing x = [1, 2, 3, 4] x[1:3] instead. This rule should probably be added to the "Whitespace In Expressions and Statements" section of PEP8 (http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#whitespace-in-expressions-and-statements)
