[Stefan Fleiter]

Hi,

under Python 2.2.2:
Traceback (most recent call last):
136775584

Can anybody explain this?

It looks like a bug. Extended slices were added for use by Numerical
Python. It may never have tried to hash them or only done so only
through the C equivavlent of s.__hash__. Extended slicing of
sequences was, I believe, only added in 2.3.
