Do mean to extract a sub-list from a list based on lower and upper 
indexes into the list?  Python has a standard notation for indicating 
sub-lists, and numpy implements them:

 >>> a = numpy.array(range(10))
 >>> a
array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])
 >>> a[3:6]
array([3, 4, 5])

If you mean something else, please be more specific, and we'll try again.
