That's not quite what the OP asked for, he wanted the third
element from every sublist in the master list
> This is an example of a for loop, that prints out every 3 element:
You can do this using slicing, no need for a for loop
L = range(10)
print L{2::3]
the 2 is the start position - the 3rd element, then the
final 3 is the step size, giving every third element up
to the end of the list.
Interesting maybe, but not what the OP asked for.
