title: Pulling raw_input options form a list
body: <p>Hi I'm just starting to learn Python, I'm using the book "learn python the hard way" and one of the exercises is to build a simple game. I wanted to give options to the user from a list.</p>
  
  <p>For example I would make a list called animals which would include 3 animals, lion tiger and fish. is is possible to offer selected elements from a list. I'm pretty sure it is but I just don't know how.</p>
  
  <p>I was thinking something like this (obviously wrong but I think it helps to understand what I mean)</p>
  
  <pre><code>animals = ['Lion', 'Tiger', 'Fish']
  
  print "which of these animals is your favourite?"
  favourite = raw_input(animals[0] or animals[2])
  if favourite = "Lion':
      print "Nice choice"
  else:
      print "Bad choice"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Again I can't stress enough I know the above is really crap but essentially I want to offer certain items of a list as an option for the raw_input. In the above case the 0 item and the 2 item.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for the help.</p>
