Question

In Python I have a list of elements aList and a list of indices myIndices. Is there any way I can retrieve all at once those items in aList having as indices the values in myIndices?

Example:

>>> aList = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g']
>>> myIndices = [0, 3, 4]
>>> aList.A_FUNCTION(myIndices)
['a', 'd', 'e']

Answer 1

I don’t know any method to do it. But you could use a list comprehension:

>>> [aList[i] for i in myIndices]
