If you're getting an index out of range error, usually it means you're trying to access a part of the list that doesn't exist - like trying to access array[4] when your array is only 3 elements long.

I fully agree with girasquid.

I don't know about python, but in Perl, you can obtain the highest populated list index by using:

perl

$#arrayname
