[Python] How to select features for logistic regression from scratch in python?

I have been trying to code logistic regression from scratch, which I have done, but I am using all the features in my breast cancer dataset, and I would like to select some features (specifically ones that I've found scikit-learn has selected for itself when I compare with it and use its feature selection on the data). However, I am not sure where to do this in my code, what I currently have is this:

X_train = ['texture_mean', 'smoothness_mean', 'compactness_mean', 'symmetry_mean', 'radius_se', 'symmetry_se'
'fractal_dimension_se', 'radius_worst', 'texture_worst', 'area_worst', 'smoothness_worst', 'compactness_worst']
X_test = ['texture_mean', 'smoothness_mean', 'compactness_mean', 'symmetry_mean', 'radius_se', 'symmetry_se'
'fractal_dimension_se', 'radius_worst', 'texture_worst', 'area_worst', 'smoothness_worst', 'compactness_worst']

def Sigmoid(z):
return 1/(1 + np.exp(-z))

def Hypothesis(theta, X):
return Sigmoid(X @ theta)

def Cost_Function(X,Y,theta,m):
hi = Hypothesis(theta, X)
_y = Y.reshape(-1, 1)
J = 1/float(m) * np.sum(-_y * np.log(hi) - (1-_y) * np.log(1-hi))
return J

def Cost_Function_Derivative(X,Y,theta,m,alpha):
hi = Hypothesis(theta,X)
_y = Y.reshape(-1, 1)
J = alpha/float(m) * X.T @ (hi - _y)
return J

def Gradient_Descent(X,Y,theta,m,alpha):
new_theta = theta - Cost_Function_Derivative(X,Y,theta,m,alpha)
return new_theta

def Accuracy(theta):
correct = 0
length = len(X_test)
prediction = (Hypothesis(theta, X_test) > 0.5)
_y = Y_test.reshape(-1, 1)
correct = prediction == _y
my_accuracy = (np.sum(correct) / length)*100
print ('LR Accuracy: ', my_accuracy, "%")

def Logistic_Regression(X,Y,alpha,theta,num_iters):
m = len(Y)
for x in range(num_iters):
new_theta = Gradient_Descent(X,Y,theta,m,alpha)
theta = new_theta
if x % 100 == 0:
print #('theta: ', theta)
print #('cost: ', Cost_Function(X,Y,theta,m))
Accuracy(theta)
ep = .012
initial_theta = np.random.rand(X_train.shape[1],1) * 2 * ep - ep
alpha = 0.5
iterations = 10000
Logistic_Regression(X_train,Y_train,alpha,initial_theta,iterations)


I was assuming that if I manually change what features X_train and X_test consist of this would work, but I get an error at the initial_theta line:

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'shape'
