[ Python 常見問題 ] Explicitly select items from a list or tuple

 Source From Here

Question
I have the following Python list (can also be a tuple):

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. myList = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'quux']  

How do I explicitly pick out items whose indices have no specific patterns? For example, I want to select [0,2,3]. Or from a very big list of 1000 items, I want to select [87, 342, 217, 998, 500]. Is there some Python syntax that does that? Something that looks like:

>>> myBigList[87, 342, 217, 998, 500]

HowTo
We can leverage list comprehension feature to accomplish it:

>>> my_big_list = list(range(1000))
>>> my_selected_list = [my_big_list[i] for i in [87, 342, 217, 998, 500]]
>>> my_selected_list
[87, 342, 217, 998, 500]
