Very simple question, hopefully. So, in Python you can split up strings using indices as follows:
>>> a="abcdefg"
>>> print a[2:4]
cd
but how do you do this if the indices are based on variables? E.g.
>>> j=2
>>> h=4
>>> print a[j,h]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: string indices must be integers
