"IndexError: list index out of range" in very simple 3 lines of Python code

It's not clear what exactly you're trying to do. When you iterate over an iterable like a list with

for i in my_list:

each i is each member of the list, not the index of the member of the list. So, in your case, if you want to print each member of the list, use

for i in my_list:
    print(i)

Think about it: what if the 3rd member of the list was 9, for example? Your code would be trying to print my_list[9], which doesn't exist.
