What is wrong with a[0:1] ?

The returns the head of the list. I need everything except the last element ('init' is from Haskell).

for i in range(len(names)):
     print (names[i],totals[i])


Always a code smell when range() and len() are combined.

Any other way of traversing two lists in parallel?
