The__getslice__,__setslice__ and__delslice__ methods have been deprecated since Python 2.0. In general, no class should implement these methods.

The only exceptions to this rule are classes that inherit fromlist and override__getitem__,__setitem__ or__delitem__. Sincelist implements the slicing methods any class inheriting fromlist must implement the the slicing methods to ensure correct behavior of__getitem__,__setitem__ and__delitem__. These exceptions to the rule will not be treated as violations.
