Thanks guys for replying, looks like I do have a bug in my code, but
its not where I thought it was. Must have been up too late last
night.
The code I provided in my OP does work (with typos corrected) but this
code with one layer of complexity does not.
def paginate_stuff(list,start):
pagesize = 2
for i in list[start:start+pagesize]:
print('%s. %s' % (i,list[i]))
return
l = []
for i in range(0,10):
l.append(i+1)
paginate_stuff(l,0)
Idea here is to be able to take N things Y at a time sequentially from
anywhere in the middle of the list.
every time I run this code I start the output one list item in the
sequence ahead of where I want to.
I can change the functional call to paginate_stuff(l,3)
and it will start where the above one leaves off
But I keep losing list[0]
Im reasonably sure that it has something to do with my for loop, but I
don't understand how
