[Python] Using .pop() with "x for x in", and indexing multiple indexes in an array

was wondering if it's possible & how you'd go about using x for x in with a function like list.pop?

It's easily achievable for me with the normal for-loop but it always returns the generator object when doing aList.pop(x for x in [0,1,2]).

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but the way I've achieved it otherwise is just

for x in [0,1,2]:
aList.pop(x)


And another question as well, what is the simplest way to choose 2 non-sequential indexes from an array without? In other words, what would the syntax be for something like y = aList[1,3] with the expected output being y assigned an array of the 1st and 3rd index of aList?

I assume there's some trick rather than appending it, maybe not but was just wondering if there was a neat way of selecting multiple indexes from a list in 1 go.

Thanks.

aList.pop(x for x in [0,1,2]), expected to remove indexes 1, 3 & 5 but instead returns error, as (x for x in [0,1,2]) returns generator object.

Also, was looking for the best way to assign list y = aList[1,3], assigning y as a list with the values from aList's 1st and 3rd index.
