Is there a version of L's itemgot that operates on a slice?

[wgpubs (WG)]

Love L.itemgot … so useful.

What I’m looking for is a version that operates on a slice, something like … L.itemgot(2:) where it would return all the items of index 2 until the end in a new L.

Is there something like that already in L?

It can take several indices, but not a slice AFAICT

Python itself doesn’t support that notation, unfortunately.

I tried that and got unexpected results …

x = L((1,2,3), (10,100,1000))
x.itemgot(0)
# (#2) [1,10]
x.itemgot(1)
# (#2) [2,100]
x.itemgot(0,1)
# throws exception .... TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable

What I was expecting was something like …

# (1,10),(2,100)
