Cool - Now that would be some seriously dense, efficient code! Will
have to play with numpy sometime.

Thanks Tim,
That's actually the stuff I was trying to remember.
my_list = [name for _, name, _ in k]
I recalled using some underscores for nice dense unnamed variable
unpacking before, but couldn't recall the process.
Thanks for that.
Ross.

If I have a list of tuples:
k=[("a", "bob", "c"), ("p", "joe", "d"), ("x", "mary", "z")]
and I want to pull the middle element out of each tuple to make a new
list:
myList = ["bob", "joe", "mary"]
is there some compact way to do that? I can imagine the obvious one
of
myList = []
for a in

if a tuple is OK: zip(*k)[1]

I'm inexperienced with some of the fancy list slicing syntaxes where
python shines.
If I have a list of tuples:
k=[("a", "bob", "c"), ("p", "joe", "d"), ("x", "mary", "z")]
and I want to pull the middle element out of each tuple to make a new
list:
myList = ["bob", "joe", "mary"]
