TypeError: list indices must be integers

Im just setting out on the long road to learn python so please excuse my lack of knowledge.
Im initally trying to read a csv in and print only certain "elements" (not sure if thats the right term) from a list. But I am getting the error :

TypeError: list indices must be integers

My Code is :

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python



import csv

import string



reader = csv.reader(open("statement.csv", "rb"))

for row in reader:

        print row[2,5,7]

You can't access a list as

Code:

print row[2,5,7]

You just need to change it to

Code:

print row[2],row[5],row[7]

And a list element is indeed the right term.

Good luck with learning Python! :)
