Hi!

What is the best way to iterate thru a huge list having the 1st element
a different process? I.e.:

process1(mylist[0])
for el in mylist[1:]:
        process2(el)

This way mylist is almost duplicated, isn't it?

Thanks.

Maybe (untested),

it = iter(mylist)
process1(it.next())
for el in it:
    process2(el)
