as a generic example you can try in the interactive interpreter (aka
REPL):
>>>items = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0]
>>>for item in items[:-1]:
>>> print(item)

I should state for the record that I am no Python expert, I mainly visit
this news group to learn.
sometimes from reading solutions & somtimes by trying to work out what
the solution might be.
most productively by working out a solution & seeing if other posters
agree (& working out why they don't)
