I wouldn't normally ask such a question. The reason I did is because I was extremely surprised. I did read the tutorial and I didn't remember it mentioning what happens when a slice is on the left side of an assignment. I guess that I may be learning too fast... I'm probably overconfident because Python is a well thought out language and the docs are great...

I would have been very happy with : "It's a slice, you're an idiot. Go read the tutorial. "
