I am trying to implement slice functionality for a class I am making that creates a vector representation.

I have this code so far, which I believe will properly implement the slice but whenever I do a call like v[4] where v is a vector python returns an error about not having enough parameters. So I am trying to figure out how to define the getitem class to handle both plain indexes and slicing.

def __getitem__(self, start, stop, step):
    indx = start
    if stop == None:
        end = start + 1
    else:
        end = stop
    if step == None:
        stride = 1
    else:
        stride = step
    return self.__data[indx:end:stride]
