[Tutor] seek and slice a range in a list of dates

[washakie]

Hello,

I'm using the code below to select the closest dates in a dictionary of
dates, to selected dates (Tstart, Tend)... Now, I need to get all the dates
(slice) from the dictionary in between the two dates TstartNew and TendNew.
Basically, I need to know what the 'index' is for them in the in the
dictionay dates_dt. How can I get that information out of the lambda
functions? does python have a 'find' function??

Thanks!

dates_dt={}
for i in range(len(dates_list)):
    dates_dt[i]=datetime.datetime(year,month,day,hour,minute,seconds)

TstartNew=sorted(dates_dt.values(),key=lambda d: abs(Tstart - d))[0]
TendNew=sorted(dates_dt.values(), key=lambda d: abs(Tend -d))[0]
