Using Python Slice Objects to Index a ndarray ============================================== Some times you just want to use an object(variable) to refering to those ``:`` functionalities in your python code, you can achieve this by:: slice(none) # the same as [:] slice(start, stop) # the same as [start:stop] slice(none, stop) # [:stop] slice(start, none) # [start:] slice(start, stop, step) # [start:stop:step] Have fun :)
