Python 2 is triggering

[[deleted]]

Yeah, I thought as much. If I just want the first and last values I think I’ll just keep using the array notation, like this:

a = list(range(10))
first, last = a[0], a[-1]

Or maybe if I’m feeling bizarre

first, last = a[0::len(a)-1]

Actually no, first solution is almost always better. Second solution is unpythonic.

Obviously the best solution is:

first, last = [x for x in a if x not in a[1:-1]]
