[Zope] Whats the difference ( Newbie question )

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Fredrik,

try the python-interpreter interactively to get an imagination
of python (simply start the binary)

if "startdatum" is really a string, part of the string
is startdatum[:4]  (chars 0..3)
startdatum[5:2] however will give you nothing.
startdatum[5:-2] will give you between the 5th and -2 from the end...
