Loop over list items, except for the last two items (python)

Question

I want to for loop over a list of 14 items except for the last two items. Does anybody know if there is a function or command in python which accomplishes this?

Same logic as duplicate link, just change the `1` to `2`. – U13-Forward Sep 02 '21 at 08:20 — U13-Forward, Sep 02 '21 at 08:20

Python lists support slicing like this:

for i in your_list[:-2]

random_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

for element in random_list[:-2]:
     print(element)

[Out] :

1 2 3 4

optionally

items = [] # your 14 item long list here
for i in range(len(items)-2):
    print(items[i])
