Use the Python interactive mode for experimentation. $ python Python 2.4.1 (#1, Jul 19 2005, 14:16:43) [GCC 4.0.0 20050519 (Red Hat 4.0.0-8)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> s = 'abc' >>> s 'abc' >>> s[:-1] 'ab' >>> s[-1] 'c' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
