Hello,

#202 seems to solve a problem with slicing on negative domains, using the Python bindings ? Which version has / will have that fix?

Thanks

Hi @luotzi, yes this feature is available in TileDB-Py 0.5, which was released yesterday and is available from conda or pip (conda has binaries for all platforms, pip currently only has binary wheels for linux).

For usage, please see: [https://docs.tiledb.com/developer/api-usage/reading-arrays/basic-reading#slicing-negative-domains](https://docs.tiledb.com/developer/api-usage/reading-arrays/basic-reading#slicing-negative-domains)

and also: [https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB-Py/blob/dev/tiledb/tests/test\_domain\_index.py](https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB-Py/blob/dev/tiledb/tests/test_domain_index.py) (for more examples)
