How to skip first element in `for` loop?

for i in list1[1:]: #Skip first element
    # Do What Ever you want

Explanation:

When you use [1:] in for loop list it skips the first element and start loop from second element to last element

I think itertools.islice will do the trick:

islice( anIterable, 1, None )

When skipping just one item, I'd use the next() function:

it = iter(iterable_or_sequence)
next(it, None)  # skip first item.
for elem in it:
    # all but the first element

By giving it a second argument, a default value, it'll also swallow the StopIteration exception. It doesn't require an import, can simplify a cluttered for loop setup, and can be used in a for loop to conditionally skip items.

If you were expecting to iterate over all elements of it skipping the first item, then itertools.islice() is appropriate:

from itertools import islice

for elem in islice(it, 1, None):
    # all but the first element
