For the slice 4 to 7, the reversed slice is 6 down to 3.
list2 += list1[6:3:-1]
>>> list2
[100, 200, 7, 6, 5]
Then del the slice from list1:
del list1[4:7]
>>> list1
[1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9]
Alternatively you could use pop() and append() in a loop over the
reversed range, though it's not as efficient:
for i in xrange(6, 3, -1):
list2.append(list1.pop(i))
