Question : access an attribute of a class from a list

I have the following class.
class chrom(object):
      """docstring for chrom"""
      def __init__(self, chr, position, ma2c):
            self.chr = chr
            self.position = position
            self.ma2c = ma2c
and then i have a list of this chrom objects called chromlist.

Let us imagine I want to create a sublist with the position of the items i to j from the chromlist!!!!

How would i do that in the esiest and most efficient way. I can' t do chromsublist[0:4].position???? why?

Answer : access an attribute of a class from a list

Sorry, the [0:4] slice contains 4 objects, not 5!

You could also make the list with a single statement:

1: 2: 3: 4: 5:

# using map and lambda: print map(lambda c:c.position,chromsublist[0:4]) # using list comprehension print [x.position for x in chromsublist[0:4]]
