Thanks. I'm getting an error, though: TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "range") to list I assume you are using Python 2.7, while I'm at 3.5. But still, this helps. It seems I can do: a[[1, 4] + list(range(7, 17, 2))] which is a real improvement. As to the overall topic I don't think it is fair to have to poo-poo python > to also feel that julia does it well. I really like both. > I really don't like poo-pooing of python, but I think it's a response to some pretty unreasonable criticism from the OP. In my newbie opinion, array indexing is an area where Julia shines, much more so than NumPy.
