[New-bugs-announce] [issue30137] Equivalent syntax regarding List returns List objects with non-similar list elements.

[Akshay Deogaonkar]

New submission from Akshay Deogaonkar:

lst = [0,1,2,3,4]
print(lst[0:3]) #returns [0,1,2]
print(lst[:3]) #returns [0,1,2]

#Above two syntax returns same lists.

print(lst[0:3:-1]) #returns []
print(lst[:3:-1]) #returns [4]

#Here is a bug; what expected was that the both syntax would have
returned the similar lists; however, they didn't!
