This can be useful for doing all kinds of basic stuff. For example if you
wanted to take 4 items of a list at at a time, do something with them and then
update the list.
jobs = ['job1', 'job2', 'job3', 'job4', 'job5', 'job6', 'job7', 'job8', 'job9',
'job10']
while jobs:
print(jobs.pop_slice(0,4))
should output
'job1', 'job2', 'job3', 'job4'
'job5', 'job6', 'job7', 'job8'
'job9', 'job10'
