Check from within some content

[Proxy]

I am trying to read the content of some html that is inside a table,
and just display some of the lines, for example the table contains 20
lines, and I just want 7 from the middle. I could do this one by one
but that wouldn't be efficient or even recommended and so far I don't
know how to limit the search between (for example) values 3 and up to
10 of the list...so far I have:

complejo = soup.html.body.findAll(width="695", limit=14)
for p in complejo:
p = pelisVIP.find('a')
clasif = p.find(attrs={"class" : "texto"})
horas = p.findAll(text=re.compile("pm$"))
if p.string != None:
print nombre[1]
print p.string, clasif.string
print horas
print "\n"
print
"========================================================="

the thing is I don't really want the 14 that are printed I just want
some of the ones in the middle =/ no idea how to do that... any help
please?

You should be able to do slicing with the list.

complejo = complejo[7:]

By the way, are you sure you want this line?

p = pelisVIP.find('a')

It looks like it would overwrite the p from the for loop.

yes actually the p = pelisVIP was an error I took out that =D, but
would you mind explaining me a bit more (or just telling me what to
google for) what is the "slicing" and how it works??

Thanks

It's just simple list slicing. The Python documentation (python.org)
should have a section on it.
