I am getting an error while finding the moving_average_of_peaks

Hello Guys!
firstly I would like to say happy new year to all of you,
secondly, its a few days which the following code makes me busy, which is mostly correct, there is something which I did wrote wrong, in which I do not get the desired answer:

def moving_average_of_peaks(data, n, w):
    peaks = []
    for i in range(w, len(data) - w):
        if data[i] > max(data[i-w:i]) and data[i] > max(data[i+1:i+w+1]):
            peaks.append(data[i])

    return [(sum(peaks[i:i+n]) / n) for i in range(len(peaks) - n + 1)] if len(peaks) >= n else []

I tested 4 cases:
moving_average_of_peaks([160, 161, 162, 161, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 163, 162], 2,2)
- correct:[163.0]
moving_average_of_peaks([160, 161, 162, 161, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 163, 162], 3,2)
- correct:[]
moving_average_of_peaks([100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 115, 110, 120, 125, 120, 125, 120, 130, 135, 140, 135, 130], 2,1)
- correct:[122.5, 125.0, 132.5]
moving_average_of_peaks([100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 115, 110, 120, 125, 120, 125, 120, 130, 135, 140, 135, 130], 2,2)
**INCORRECT** got [130.0] but expected [122.5, 132.5]

all have correct output, other than the last one,
could anyone tell me, what to modify, in order to get a right answer for last one as well, without impacting the rest of test cases negatively.

thanks,

First, wrong subforum. Second, you seem to have an indexing bug in data[i+1:i+w+1], the i+w+1 can go out of bounds for you because they can become equal to the len(data). If you remove the +1, then the last example returns expected result.
