 ********
 
-A slicing selects a range of items in a sequence object (e.g., a
-string, tuple or list).  Slicings may be used as expressions or as
-targets in assignment or "del" statements.  The syntax for a slicing:
-
-   slicing:      primary "[" slice_list "]"
-   slice_list:   slice_item ("," slice_item)* [","]
-   slice_item:   expression | proper_slice
-   proper_slice: [lower_bound] ":" [upper_bound] [ ":" [stride] ]
-   lower_bound:  expression
-   upper_bound:  expression
-   stride:       expression
-
-There is ambiguity in the formal syntax here: anything that looks like
-an expression list also looks like a slice list, so any subscription
-can be interpreted as a slicing.  Rather than further complicating the
-syntax, this is disambiguated by defining that in this case the
-interpretation as a subscription takes priority over the
-interpretation as a slicing (this is the case if the slice list
-contains no proper slice).
-
-The semantics for a slicing are as follows.  The primary is indexed
-(using the same "__getitem__()" method as normal subscription) with a
-key that is constructed from the slice list, as follows.  If the slice
-list contains at least one comma, the key is a tuple containing the
-conversion of the slice items; otherwise, the conversion of the lone
-slice item is the key.  The conversion of a slice item that is an
-expression is that expression.  The conversion of a proper slice is a
-slice object (see section The standard type hierarchy) whose "start",
-"stop" and "step" attributes are the values of the expressions given
-as lower bound, upper bound and stride, respectively, substituting
-"None" for missing expressions.
+A more advanced form of subscription, *slicing*, is commonly used to
+extract a portion of a sequence. In this form, the subscript is a
+*slice*: up to three expressions separated by colons. Any of the
+expressions may be omitted, but a slice must contain at least one
+colon:
+
+   >>> number_names = ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five']
+   >>> number_names[1:3]
+   ['one', 'two']
+   >>> number_names[1:]
+   ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five']
+   >>> number_names[:3]
+   ['zero', 'one', 'two']
+   >>> number_names[:]
+   ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five']
+   >>> number_names[::2]
+   ['zero', 'two', 'four']
+   >>> number_names[:-3]
+   ['zero', 'one', 'two']
+   >>> del number_names[4:]
+   >>> number_names
+   ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three']
+
+When a slice is evaluated, the interpreter constructs a "slice" object
+whose "start", "stop" and "step" attributes, respectively, are the
+results of the expressions between the colons. Any missing expression
+evaluates to "None". This "slice" object is then passed to the
+"__getitem__()" or "__class_getitem__()" *special method*, as above.

+**************************
+
+The *subscription* syntax is usually used for selecting an element
+from a container – for example, to get a value from a "dict":
+
+   >>> digits_by_name = {'one': 1, 'two': 2}
+   >>> digits_by_name['two']  # Subscripting a dictionary using the key 'two'
+   2
+
+In the subscription syntax, the object being subscribed – a primary –
+is followed by a *subscript* in square brackets. In the simplest case,
+the subscript is a single expression.
 
-The subscription of an instance of a container class will generally
-select an element from the container. The subscription of a *generic
-class* will generally return a GenericAlias object.
+Depending on the type of the object being subscribed, the subscript is
+sometimes called a *key* (for mappings), *index* (for sequences), or
+*type argument* (for *generic types*). Syntactically, these are all
+equivalent:
 
-   subscription: primary "[" flexible_expression_list "]"
+   >>> colors = ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'black']
+   >>> colors[3]  # Subscripting a list using the index 3
+   'black'
 
-When an object is subscripted, the interpreter will evaluate the
-primary and the expression list.
+   >>> list[str]  # Parameterizing the list type using the type argument str
+   list[str]
 
-The primary must evaluate to an object that supports subscription. An
-object may support subscription through defining one or both of
-"__getitem__()" and "__class_getitem__()". When the primary is
-subscripted, the evaluated result of the expression list will be
-passed to one of these methods. For more details on when
-"__class_getitem__" is called instead of "__getitem__", see
+At runtime, the interpreter will evaluate the primary and the
+subscript, and call the primary’s "__getitem__()" or
+"__class_getitem__()" *special method* with the subscript as argument.
+For more details on which of these methods is called, see
 __class_getitem__ versus __getitem__.
 
-If the expression list contains at least one comma, or if any of the
-expressions are starred, the expression list will evaluate to a
-"tuple" containing the items of the expression list. Otherwise, the
-expression list will evaluate to the value of the list’s sole member.
-
-Changed in version 3.11: Expressions in an expression list may be
-starred. See **PEP 646**.
-
-For built-in objects, there are two types of objects that support
-subscription via "__getitem__()":
-
-1. Mappings. If the primary is a *mapping*, the expression list must
-   evaluate to an object whose value is one of the keys of the
-   mapping, and the subscription selects the value in the mapping that
-   corresponds to that key. An example of a builtin mapping class is
-   the "dict" class.
-
-2. Sequences. If the primary is a *sequence*, the expression list must
-   evaluate to an "int" or a "slice" (as discussed in the following
-   section). Examples of builtin sequence classes include the "str",
-   "list" and "tuple" classes.
-
-The formal syntax makes no special provision for negative indices in
-*sequences*. However, built-in sequences all provide a "__getitem__()"
-method that interprets negative indices by adding the length of the
-sequence to the index so that, for example, "x[-1]" selects the last
-item of "x". The resulting value must be a nonnegative integer less
-than the number of items in the sequence, and the subscription selects
-the item whose index is that value (counting from zero). Since the
-support for negative indices and slicing occurs in the object’s
-"__getitem__()" method, subclasses overriding this method will need to
-explicitly add that support.
-
-A "string" is a special kind of sequence whose items are *characters*.
-A character is not a separate data type but a string of exactly one
-character.
+To show how subscription works, we can define a custom object that
+implements "__getitem__()" and prints out the value of the subscript:
+
+   >>> class SubscriptionDemo:
+   ...     def __getitem__(self, key):
+   ...         print(f'subscripted with: {key!r}')
+   ...
+   >>> demo = SubscriptionDemo()
+   >>> demo[1]
+   subscripted with: 1
+   >>> demo['a' * 3]
+   subscripted with: 'aaa'
+
+See "__getitem__()" documentation for how built-in types handle
+subscription.
+
+Subscriptions may also be used as targets in assignment or deletion
+statements. In these cases, the interpreter will call the subscripted
+object’s "__setitem__()" or "__delitem__()" *special method*,
+respectively, instead of "__getitem__()".
+
+   >>> colors = ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'black']
+   >>> colors[3] = 'white'  # Setting item at index
+   >>> colors
+   ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'white']
+   >>> del colors[3]  # Deleting item at index 3
+   >>> colors
+   ['red', 'blue', 'green']
+
+All advanced forms of *subscript* documented in the following sections
+are also usable for assignment and deletion.
+
+
+Slicings
+========
+
+A more advanced form of subscription, *slicing*, is commonly used to
+extract a portion of a sequence. In this form, the subscript is a
+*slice*: up to three expressions separated by colons. Any of the
+expressions may be omitted, but a slice must contain at least one
+colon:
+
+   >>> number_names = ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five']
+   >>> number_names[1:3]
+   ['one', 'two']
+   >>> number_names[1:]
+   ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five']
+   >>> number_names[:3]
+   ['zero', 'one', 'two']
+   >>> number_names[:]
+   ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five']
+   >>> number_names[::2]
+   ['zero', 'two', 'four']
+   >>> number_names[:-3]
+   ['zero', 'one', 'two']
+   >>> del number_names[4:]
+   >>> number_names
+   ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three']
+
+When a slice is evaluated, the interpreter constructs a "slice" object
+whose "start", "stop" and "step" attributes, respectively, are the
+results of the expressions between the colons. Any missing expression
+evaluates to "None". This "slice" object is then passed to the
+"__getitem__()" or "__class_getitem__()" *special method*, as above.
+
+   # continuing with the SubscriptionDemo instance defined above:
+   >>> demo[2:3]
+   subscripted with: slice(2, 3, None)
+   >>> demo[::'spam']
+   subscripted with: slice(None, None, 'spam')
+
+
+Comma-separated subscripts
+==========================
+
+The subscript can also be given as two or more comma-separated
+expressions or slices:
+
+   # continuing with the SubscriptionDemo instance defined above:
+   >>> demo[1, 2, 3]
+   subscripted with: (1, 2, 3)
+   >>> demo[1:2, 3]
+   subscripted with: (slice(1, 2, None), 3)
+
+This form is commonly used with numerical libraries for slicing multi-
+dimensional data. In this case, the interpreter constructs a "tuple"
+of the results of the expressions or slices, and passes this tuple to
+the "__getitem__()" or "__class_getitem__()" *special method*, as
+above.
+
+The subscript may also be given as a single expression or slice
+followed by a comma, to specify a one-element tuple:
+
+   >>> demo['spam',]
+   subscripted with: ('spam',)
+
+
+“Starred” subscriptions
+=======================
+
+Added in version 3.11: Expressions in *tuple_slices* may be starred.
+See **PEP 646**.
+
+The subscript can also contain a starred expression. In this case, the
+interpreter unpacks the result into a tuple, and passes this tuple to
+"__getitem__()" or "__class_getitem__()":
+
+   # continuing with the SubscriptionDemo instance defined above:
+   >>> demo[*range(10)]
+   subscripted with: (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
+
+Starred expressions may be combined with comma-separated expressions
+and slices:
+
+   >>> demo['a', 'b', *range(3), 'c']
+   subscripted with: ('a', 'b', 0, 1, 2, 'c')
+
+
+Formal subscription grammar
+===========================
+
+   subscription:     primary '[' subscript ']'
+   subscript:        single_subscript | tuple_subscript
+   single_subscript: proper_slice | assignment_expression
+   proper_slice:     [expression] ":" [expression] [ ":" [expression] ]
+   tuple_subscript:  ','.(single_subscript | starred_expression)+ [',']
+
+Recall that the "|" operator denotes ordered choice. Specifically, in
+"subscript", if both alternatives would match, the first
+("single_subscript") has priority.

-   to convert a "str" to "bytes" using the given text encoding, and
+   A string ("str") is a sequence of values that represent
+   *characters*, or more formally, *Unicode code points*. All the code
+   points in the range "0" to "0x10FFFF" can be represented in a

+
+   Python doesn’t have a dedicated *character* type. Instead, every
+   code point in the string is represented as a string object with

+
+   The built-in function "ord()" converts a code point from its string
+   form to an integer in the range "0" to "0x10FFFF"; "chr()" converts

    "bytes.decode()" can be used to achieve the opposite.
 
 Tuples

-   to an expression (an expression by itself does not create a tuple,
-   since parentheses must be usable for grouping of expressions).  An
-   empty tuple can be formed by an empty pair of parentheses.
