[BangPypers] nested list question

[Vikram]

> Suppose you have two nested lists, X and Y.

> A sample element of X is:

> ['NM_032291', '67000041', '67000051', 'chr1', '+']

>

> Another sample element of X is:

> ['NM_001097', '51183080', '51183635', 'chr22', '+']

>

>

> A sample element of Y is:

> ['chr1', '67000046']

>

> Another sample element of Y is:

> ['chrY', '59033300']

>

> The objective is to identify whether the second element of an element of Y

> (e.g. 67000046) lies between the the second and third elements of an element

> of X (e.g. 67000041 and 67000051).

>

> Eventually, one should end up with a modified version of Y, let us say

> modY, which is a filtered version of Y in which the second element of an

> element of modY is contained within the second and third elements of an

> element of X.

> Any suggestions on how i should be going about implementing this?

>>> modY = [y for y in Y for x in X if x[1] < y[1] < x[2]]
