    So I have something that I am parsing, however here is an example of what I would like to do:

    list = ['A', 'B', 'C']
    

    And using list slicing have it return to me everything but the first index. So in this case:

    ['B', 'C']
    

    I have been messing with stuff like list[:-1], list[::-1], list[0:-1], etc. But I can't seem to be able to find this out.

    What I am actual doing is: * I have a error message that has a error code in the beginning such as:

    ['226', 'Transfer', 'Complete']
    

    and I want to just display Transfer Complete on a popup widget. Of course I am casting to a string.

    Thank you for all help, and if answer differs via Python 2.7.x and Python 3.x.x Please answer for both versions.

    Thanks, looked a lot around stackoverflow and python tutorials couldn't really quite get what I was looking for. Thanks for your help!
