Store Slice Index as Object

Question

Say I have a list of lists of lists etc... of some depth:

ExampleNestedObject = numpy.ones(shape = (3,3,3,3,3))

In general I can get an element

Answer 1

The trick is to think of an index object as a tuple of slice objects.

Example1:

Object[1,2,:] == Object[(1,2,slice(None,None,None))]

Example2:

WantedSliceObject = (1,2,slice(None,None,None), 4,5)
Object[1,2,:,4,5] == Object[WantedSliceObject]

Note the syntax of '''slice:

#slice(start, stop[, step])

#1 ==  slice(1, 2, 1)

WantedSliceObject2 = (
   slice(1, 2, 1),
   slice(2, 2, 1),
   slice(None,None,None), 
   slice(4, 2, 1),
   slice(5, 2, 1)
   )

#WantedSliceObject2 == WantedSliceObject
