How to extract multiple slices in an array?
<p>I need to extract data from multiple positions in an array.</p>

<p>A simple array would be:-</p>

<pre><code>listing = (4, 22, 24, 34, 46, 56)
</code></pre>

<p>I am familiar with slicing. For instance:-</p>

<pre><code>listing[0:3]
</code></pre>

<p>would give me:-</p>

<pre><code>(4, 22, 24)
</code></pre>

<p>However I am unable to get out multiple slices. For instance:-</p>

<pre><code>listing[0:3, 4:5]
</code></pre>

<p>gives me</p>

<pre><code>TypeError: tuple indices must be integers not tuples
</code></pre>

<p>Despite Searching two Python books and the Internet I cannot work out the syntax to use.</p>
