Is there a way to do: x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] x[0,2:6]
That would return: [0, 3, 4, 5, 6] I am surprised this notation is not supported, it seems intuitive. A concrete example of the sort of thing I want to do: p = file('/etc/passwd').readlines() q = [ e.strip().split(':')[0,2:] for e in p ] (getting rid of the password / x field) Thanks.
