Python: filtering lists by indices
I don't know any method to do it. But you could use a list comprehension:
>>> [aList[i] for i in myIndices]
Definitely use a list comprehension but here is a function that does it (there are no methods of list that do this). This is however bad use of itemgetter but just for the sake of knowledge I have posted this.
>>> from operator import itemgetter
>>> a_list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g']
>>> my_indices = [0, 3, 4]
>>> itemgetter(*my_indices)(a_list)
('a', 'd', 'e')
