How to delete the very last character from every string in a list of strings

Question

I have the strings \'80010\', \'80030\', \'80050\' in a list, as in

test = [\'80010\',\'80030\',\'80050\']

How can I delete the very last

Answer 1

Just to show a slightly different solution than comprehension, Given that other answers already explained slicing, I just go through at the method.

With the map function.

test = ['80010','80030','80050']
print map(lambda x: x[:-1],test)
# ['8001', '8003', '8005']
