Index all *except* one item in python

Question

Is there a simple way to index all elements of a list (or array, or whatever) except for a particular index? E.g.,

• mylist[3]

Answer 1

If you want to cut out the last or the first do this:

list = ["This", "is", "a", "list"]
listnolast = list[:-1]
listnofirst = list[1:]

If you change 1 to 2 the first 2 characters will be removed not the second. Hope this still helps!
