It's also the same as
[items[x] for x in [values.index(i) for i in new_values]]
Which reduces to
[items[values.index(i)] for i in new_values]
(Although 'i' is not a good choice of variable as it represents a
value, not an index)
Anyway it doesn't work well if the 'values' list has repeated values,
e.g.
items = ['spam', 'eggs', 'wafer']
values = [3, 7, 3]
