for a start..
a few things to improve readability.. (as well as perf maybe)

b[i][0:1]+b[i][1:2] == b[i][0]+b[i][1]

possibly dependant of on the data type of b[i] possibly..
b[i][0]+b[i][1] ==  b[i][0:2]

also..

>> > b[21][0:1]+b[21][1:2]
>> > b[21][1:2]+b[21][2:3]
>> > b[21][0:1]+b[21][2:3]
 this is.. really confusing..
usually when you add things you would assign the result to something
or use it in another way.. so this code looks like it is totally
useless.

it might not be 100% useless but if it is.. it is such horrible code u
rly need to burn it with fire .

since u use b[21] 6 times here you should just extract it as a
separate variable  eg..

b21 = b[21]
A = b21[0:1]+b21[1:2]
B = b21[1:2]+b21[2:3]
C = b21[0:1]+b21[2:3]
that is ofc if


now this is rly interesting.. i think there is a big misunderstanding
about what function arguments are..

def node(mmm, b[i][0:1], b[i][1:2]):
 H2 = [MM[mmm][A+B] for i in range(len(b))]
 return H2

node(5, b[i][0:1], b[i][1:2])

if i can guess your intent correctly.. what you actually want is sth like

def node(mmm, b01, b12):
 # b01 = b[i][0:1]; b12 = b[i][1:2]
 # since you obviously omitted some code you might want to take in
some other params as well.. like the variable ´b´ for example.
 # i hope this is at least a little helpful, it really is hard to give
constructive feedback if you cant even post the actual code nor can
you give any info about what you are attempting to do
 H2 = [MM[mmm][A+B] for i in range(len(b))]
 return H2

node(5, b[i][0:1], b[i][1:2])

also it helps to give meaningful names to things, i guarantee next
week even you will be having trouble reading this code...
/now what the heck was that MM thing.. i wonder..  i could totally fix
it if i only named it sth decent../
