• How can you remove the first item in a Python list?
• StackOverflow discussion here, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4426663/how-do-i-remove-the-first-item-from-a-python-list.
• Example.

l = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
l.pop(0)

• Another example is by creating subset and let the original list intact.

x = [0,1,2,3,4]
x = x[1:]
