"list-like datatype alowing floating point indices and slices"

cursed_dataypes is a library offering cursed variations of standard Python datatypes (so far limited to cursed_list)

What is cursed about this list?

well, you know how you absolutely never thought "I wonder what element 2.345 of this list is"?

cursed_list allows you to find out!

cursed_list extends the builtin list type to allow floating point indices, or floating point slices.

It interpolates the values of the list elements to get these fractional elements;

e.g. cursed_list([1,2,3])[0.333]) would give 1.333

floating point slices work similarly, including if the step is a float

Note: this means the number of elements of a slice of a cursed_list can be more than the length of the original cursed_list object.

Limitations:

Can only assign to cursed_list slices as if it were a normal list; no floats

Can't handle complex number indices - I have no idea what that should even look like

Where should I use this?

You probably shouldn't, definitely not for anything serious.

The whole point of this is to be like nails on a chalkboard for programmers.
