If any of those methods are defined for ' 'an object, it\n' 'is said to be a descriptor.\n' '\n' 'The default behavior for attribute access is to get, ' 'set, or delete\n' 'the attribute from an object’s dictionary. For instance, ' '"a.x" has a\n' 'lookup chain starting with "a.__dict__[\'x\']", then\n' '"type(a).__dict__[\'x\']", and continuing through the ' 'base classes of\n' '"type(a)" excluding metaclasses.\n' '\n' 'However, if the looked-up value is an object defining ' 'one of the\n' 'descriptor methods, then Python may override the default ' 'behavior and\n' 'invoke the descriptor method instead. Where this occurs ' 'in the\n' 'precedence chain depends on which descriptor methods ' 'were defined and\n' 'how they were called.\n' '\n' 'The starting point for descriptor invocation is a ' 'binding, "a.x". How\n' 'the arguments are assembled depends on "a":\n' '\n' 'Direct Call\n' ' The simplest and least common call is when user code ' 'directly\n' ' invokes a descriptor method: "x.__get__(a)".\n' '\n' 'Instance Binding\n' ' If binding to an object instance, "a.x" is ' 'transformed into the\n' ' call: "type(a).__dict__[\'x\'].__get__(a, type(a))".\n' '\n' 'Class Binding\n' ' If binding to a class, "A.x" is transformed into the ' 'call:\n' ' "A.__dict__[\'x\'].__get__(None, A)".\n' '\n' 'Super Binding\n' ' A dotted lookup such as "super(A, a).x" searches\n' ' "a.__class__.__mro__" for a base class "B" following ' '"A" and then\n' ' returns "B.__dict__[\'x\'].__get__(a, A)". If not a ' 'descriptor, "x"\n' ' is returned unchanged.\n' '\n' 'For instance bindings, the precedence of descriptor ' 'invocation depends\n' 'on which descriptor methods are defined. A descriptor ' 'can define any\n' 'combination of "__get__()", "__set__()" and ' '"__delete__()". If it\n' 'does not define "__get__()", then accessing the ' 'attribute will return\n' 'the descriptor object itself unless there is a value in ' 'the object’s\n' 'instance dictionary.

For instance, if a ' 'class defines\n' 'a method named "__getitem__()", and "x" is an instance of ' 'this class,\n' 'then "x[i]" is roughly equivalent to "type(x).__getitem__(x, ' 'i)".\n' 'Except where mentioned, attempts to execute an operation ' 'raise an\n' 'exception when no appropriate method is defined (typically\n' '"AttributeError" or "TypeError").\n' '\n' 'Setting a special method to "None" indicates that the ' 'corresponding\n' 'operation is not available.

The slice of s from i to j is defined as the sequence ' 'of\n' ' items with index k such that "i <= k < j". If i or j ' 'is\n' ' greater than "len(s)", use "len(s)". If i is omitted or ' '"None",\n' ' use "0". If j is omitted or "None", use "len(s)". If i ' 'is\n' ' greater than or equal to j, the slice is empty.\n' '\n' '5. The slice of s from i to j with step k is defined as ' 'the\n' ' sequence of items with index "x = i + nk" such that "0 <= n ' '<\n' ' (j-i)/k". In other words, the indices are "i", "i+k", ' '"i+2k",\n' ' "i+3k" and so on, stopping when j* is reached (but never\n' ' including j). When k is positive, i and j are ' 'reduced to\n' ' "len(s)" if they are greater. When k is negative, i and ' 'j are\n' ' reduced to "len(s) - 1" if they are greater. If i or j ' 'are\n' ' omitted or "None", they become “end” values (which end ' 'depends on\n' ' the sign of k). Note, k cannot be zero. If k is ' '"None", it\n' ' is treated like "1".\n' '\n' '6.
