Python - extract the 3rd item from a list? : <p>I have a list as per below, it is currently returning the first and the 3rd item in the list, but i only want the 3rd item not the 3rd, how can i achieve this?</p>

<pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt;list = ['1', '2', '3', '45']
&gt;&gt;&gt;print list[::2]
['1', '3']
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks</p>
