Just to be clear for folks who care more about the general python around this: any class that has a method __index__ that returns an int can be used as an index for array access. e.g:
class FetchIndex:
def __index__(self):
return int(requests.get("https://indextolookup.com").text.strip())
a = ["no", "lol", "wow"]
print(a[FetchIndex()])
The builtin `int` also has a __index__ method that returns itself.
Dunders are part of what makes typing in python so hard.
