Get item from sublist with another sublist containing indexes

Question

I am struggling with sublists, I would like to get items from list at indexes given in index_list where these indexes are also in sublist. I would like to also keep the structure. What is the best method to do that? Should I use zip()?

list = [['a','b','c'],['a','b','c','d'],['a','b','c']]

index_list = [[0,2],[1,2,3],[1,2]]

Answer 1

For each sublist, then for each index get the corresponding value (also don't use list built-in name as variable name)

results = [[values[sub_idx][item] for item in sublist] for sub_idx, sublist in enumerate(index_list)]
