Apologies if this has already been covered! Right now, if you want to get multiple elements in a list, you have to do:
elements = [mylist[a], mylist[b]] My proposal is two-folded: - Right now, a[b,c] is already valid syntax, since it's just indexing a with the tuple (b, c). The proposal is to make this a specialization in the grammar, and also allow stuff like a[b:c, d:e] (like `a.__getitem__(slice(b, c), slice(d, e))`). - Add support for indexing via tuples in list.__getitem__. list.__getitem__(tuple) would roughly be equivalent to map(list.__getitem__, tuple). The first part is solely so that slices would be allowed in the syntax, but if you guys don't like the idea, the second part still stands.
