Exactly the same way that you would get a value from any other list.

 >>> my_list = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
 >>> print my_list[2]  # get a value from the list
30

Don't forget that Python starts counting from 0, not 1.



Does this answer your question? If not, you will need to be more 
specific about what you are trying to do.
