How can I check if a list index exists?

Question

Seems as though

if not mylist[1]:
    return False

Doesn\'t work.

Answer 1

Alternative (but somewhat slower) way of doing it:

if index not in range(len(myList)):
    return False

It gets a bit more verbose when accounting for negative indices:

if index not in range(-len(myList), len(myList)):
    return False
