Hi Aleksandr,
In future, when posting what you think might be a bug, please try to cut the
code down to the bare minimum needed. In this case, it doesn't matter at all
that the strings you are processing come from splitting a larger string.
split() has done its job, correctly, giving you a list of substrings
['WORD', 'BIRD\nBIRD\nBIRD']
You then extract each item, and only then take the slice from it. So you can
simplify the problem:
string = 'WORD'
print(string[0:3])
You ask:
"Shouldn't index [0:3] give 4 chars?"
No. It gives *three* characters. The end index is not included in the slice.
Slice indexes occur *between* the characters:
|W|O|R|D|
0.1.2.3.4
so a slice from 0 to 3 includes only three characters, not four.
