Python: Split a list into sub-lists based on index ranges

Question

UPDATED:

In python, how do i split a list into sub-lists based on index ranges

e.g. original list:

list1 = [x,y,z,a,b,c,d,e,f,g]

Answer 1

Note that you can use a variable in a slice:

l = ['a',' b',' c',' d',' e']
c_index = l.index("c")
l2 = l[:c_index]

This would put the first two entries of l in l2
