declaimed the following:

>C:\Documents and Settings\Igor.FORDANWORK\Desktop\winpdb>python
>Python 2.7.5 (default, May 15 2013, 22:43:36) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
>(Intel)] on win32
>Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>> test = "I,like,my,chocolate"
>>>> print test.split(',')[2,3]

	So close, as long as you want a contiguous range of parts.

>>> "I,like,my,chocolate".split(",")[2:3]
['my']
>>> "I,like,my,chocolate".split(",")[2:4]
['my', 'chocolate']
>>> "I,like,my,chocolate".split(",")[1:-1]
['like', 'my']
>>> 

	For arbitrary items, as long as you don't ask for something higher than
in the split..

>>> splt = "I,like,my,dark,chocolate".split(",")
>>> splt
['I', 'like', 'my', 'dark', 'chocolate']
>>> [splt[i] for i in (1, 3, 0, 2, 4)]
['like', 'dark', 'I', 'my', 'chocolate']
>>>
