Re: [Fontforge-devel] Python contour slicing

[Stephen H. <ha...@gm...>]

Contour slicing still does not function correctly when using the notation
c[i:].  This occurs because Python passes in a very large value (probably
the maximum size of an unsigned int) for _end_ to indicate "to the end of
the sequence".

A closer reading of the Python documentation seems to suggest that slicing
can never generate an index-out-of-range error.  The attached patch adjusts
the contour slicing behavior to match this. It also changes the behavior of
assigning slices as well.

Best wishes,
Stephen
