If you deque a list, can it still be indexed?

[netrate]

I was wondering if when you deque a list, can you still access the middle of the list using the index?

For example :

from collections import deque
q = deque("David", "Sally", "Ralph", "Lisa")

I know I can POPLEFT, POP and append to the list, but am I able to also remove items that are not first or last using indexing?
