 .. cvar:: PyTypeObject PySlice_Type
 
    .. index:: single: SliceType (in module types)
 
    The type object for slice objects.  This is the same as ``slice`` and
    ``types.SliceType``.
 
 
 .. cfunction:: int PySlice_Check(PyObject *ob)
 
    Return true if *ob* is a slice object; *ob* must not be *NULL*.
 
 
 .. cfunction:: PyObject* PySlice_New(PyObject *start, PyObject *stop, PyObject *step)
 
    Return a new slice object with the given values.  The *start*, *stop*, and
-   *step* parameters are used as the values of the slice object attributes of the
-   same names.  Any of the values may be *NULL*, in which case the ``None`` will be
-   used for the corresponding attribute.  Return *NULL* if the new object could not
-   be allocated.

 .. cfunction:: int PySlice_GetIndices(PySliceObject *slice, Py_ssize_t length, Py_ssize_t *start, Py_ssize_t *stop, Py_ssize_t *step)
 
    Retrieve the start, stop and step indices from the slice object *slice*,
-   assuming a sequence of length *length*. Treats indices greater than *length* as
-   errors.

-   and step indices from the slice object *slice* assuming a sequence of length
-   *length*, and store the length of the slice in *slicelength*.  Out of bounds
-   indices are clipped in a manner consistent with the handling of normal slices.
