Python equivalent to select.list in R

I am working in Python, and I have data I need to clean. In R, 

crazy.seq<-c(rep("a",6),"Hey",rep("b",8),"Good Looking ;)",rep("c",3))
happy.seq<-select.list(crazy.seq,multiple=T)
print(happy.seq)

To describe the behavior for those unfamiliar with R: crazy.seq is a data structure with 19 values in it. select.list opens a user interface that allows the user to interactively select the index(ices) that should be placed in happy.seq. After executing and receiving user input, happy.seq will have whichever elements from crazy.seq the user selected.

Is there a python equivalent?

There is not a python standard library implementation of this. You could write one though:

crazy = [1, 'a', 'a', 'b']
# Ask the user for some index values
happy = [crazy[int(i)] for i in input("Enter index values separated by a space: ").split()]

For example, if the user inputs 0 3, the state of the variables is:

crazy
# [1, 'a', 'a', 'b']
happy
# [1, 'b']
