Thank you all for the replies.
The solution using Python 3's syntax look very intuitive.

Thanks Tim, Arnaud for the idea (I am using 2.x)

Hello

I am still learning Python, and have a question, perhaps I can shorten
the code:

L = (
  (1, 2, 3),
  (4,),
  (5,),
  (6, 7)
)

for x in L:
    print x

What I want, is to write the for loop, something like this:

for (first_element, the_rest) in L:
  print first_element
  for x in the_rest:
    # now access the rest of the elements

I know I can :
for x in L:
    first = x[0]
    rest = x[1:]
    ....
Probably that is not possible, but just asking.

Thanks,
Elias
Using slicing + list comprehension with python 2.x

for first, rest in [(e[0],e[1:]) for e in L]:
    print first
    print rest


1
(2, 3)
4
()
5
()
6
(7,)


But honestly, the code you provided is just fine.
