Pandas 在时间序列上切片似乎与列表切片不一致

Question

times = [datetime(2011, 01, 03, 0, 10 + i, 0) for i in range(5)]
series = pd.TimeSeries(range(5), index=times)
series.ix[datetime(2011, 01, 03, 0, 10, 0):datetime(2011, 01, 03, 0, 13, 0)]

2011-01-03 00:10:00    0
2011-01-03 00:11:00    1
2011-01-03 00:12:00    2
2011-01-03 00:13:00    3

但是

x = range(5)
x[0:3]
[0, 1, 2]

还有，

times = [datetime.datetime(2000, 1, 1) + datetime.timedelta(minutes=i) for i in range(1000000 - 1)]
df = pd.TimeSeries(range(1000000 - 1), times)
len(df.ix[datetime.datetime(1900,1,1):datetime.datetime(2100,1,1)])

999999

但是

times = [datetime.datetime(2000, 1, 1) + datetime.timedelta(minutes=i) for i in range(1000000)]
df = pd.TimeSeries(range(1000000), times)
len(df.ix[datetime.datetime(1900,1,1):datetime.datetime(2100,1,1)])

来自documentation：

使用标签进行切片在语义上略有不同，因为在基于标签的情况下切片开始和停止是包含
