No, this creates a one dimensional list with 2N elements of where each element is a two item tuple.

You can use a few different methods. This is just one example.

for idx, temp_point in enumerate(new_indices):
    try:
        temp_point[0]
        temp_point[1]
    except Exception: #Should be IndexError I think.
        print 'idx: {0}\ntemp_point:{1}'.format(idx, temp_point) 
        # Possibly add a break or exit so you do not have to
        # keep going once you hit a failure.
    point = data[temp_point[0], temp_point[1]] 


What is `data`? I have not seen any built-in structure that takes
a tuple in this manner...unless it is a dictionary. Or from numpy.
Given my lack of knowledge of what `data`, it could be the
problem is there. That is one reason I accessed `temp_point[0]` and
`temp_point[1]` separately.

Is that the actual error? If so, then the problem is not `idx` or 
`temp_point` but instead `data`. If it is not the exact error, please 
copy and paste the error message *exactly* as given.

>>> [1][2]
IndexError: list index out of range
>>> (1,2)[3]
IndexError: tuple index out of range
