Is there a better way to chose a slice of a list?

Depending on the context this style might help:

>>> week = ['sun','mon','tue','wed','thu','fri','sat']
>>> tue_fri = slice(week.index('tue'), week.index('fri'))
>>> for day in week[tue_fri]:
	print day

But I don't really see it as an improvement unless you are using those
intervals repeatedly.
