Is there a better way to delete multiple items at distinct points within maybe one line of code instead of what I've had to do here with two for the challenge?

=========================== messy_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]

Your code goes below here

edit = messy_list.pop(3)

messy_list.insert(0, edit)

del messy_list[1] del messy_list[3:5]

print (messy_list)

because we wind up having to delete the "a", False, and the sublist, but with there being a series of other index places between the "a" and other index's you're trying to cut out of the list further on. I used a slice to save myself from repeating the del function again, but if it's possible I'd like to know if there's a way to do it with one line (since, the function's want a single argument).

I was thinking of using pop to trade places with the "a" and the 1, but again, single argument so i'd be repeating code there for that, putting in a second pop and insert, and reducing my del usage down to one, but altogether still gaining one line of code extra.

Or maybe I did do it as efficiently as possible, but I find it unlikely due to my still infant level of knowledge regarding the subject matter.
