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

In python @Matthew solution is perfect. But if indeed you are a beginer in coding in general, I must recommend this, less elegant for sure but the only way in many other scenario :

#variables declaration
test = ['80010','80030','80050'] 
lenght = len(test)                 # for reading and writing sakes, len(A): lenght of A
newtest = [None] * lenght          # newtest = [none, none, none], go look up empty array creation
strLen = 0                         # temporary storage

#adding in newtest every element of test but spliced
for i in range(0, lenght):         # for loop
    str = test[i]                  # get n th element of test
    strLen = len (str)             # for reading sake, the lenght of string that will be spliced
    newtest[i] = str[0:strLen - 1] # n th element of newtest is the spliced n th element from test

#show the results
print (newtest)                    # ['8001','8003','8005']

ps : this scripts, albeit not being the best, works in python ! Good luck to any programmer newcommer.
