It sounds like you are trying to access an element outside the range of the list. What code is causing this error? – Bill Cheatham Apr 14 '13 at 23:53

Generally it means that you are providing an index for which a list element does not exist.
E.g, if your list was [1, 3, 5, 7], and you asked for the element at index 10, you would be well out of bounds and receive an error, as only elements 0 through 3 exist.
