Firstly the ~ operator is a bitwise not, it's effectively shorthand for -1-v, so -~v is shorthand for -(-1-v) which is just 1+v (but avoids parentheses like (1+v)*a). Secondly in Python one may multiply a list by an integer to repeat it (e.g. ['a','b']*3 is ['a','b','a','b','a','b']). The -~v*a could be replaced by a+v*a for the same byte count. Lastly the [i:i+v] is a slice indexing, keeping elements i to i+v-1 (0-indexed) only.
