newb loop problem

Hey there, having a bit of problem iterating through lists before i go
on any further, here is
a snip of the script.
--
d = "a1 b1 c1 d1 e1 a2 b2 c2 d2 e2 a3 b3 c3 d3 e3 a4 b4 c4 d4 e4 a5 b5
c5 d5 e5"
inLst = d.split()
hitLst = []

hitNum = 0
stopCnt = 6 + hitNum

for i in range(hitNum,len(inLst), 1):
	if i == stopCnt: break
	hitLst.append(inLst[i])

print hitLst
--
$ python helper.py
['a1', 'b1', 'c1', 'd1', 'e1', 'a2']


This works fine for my purposes, what I need is an outer loop that
goes through the original list again and appends my next request.

ie.

hitNum = 5

which will return:

['a2', 'b2', 'c2', 'd2', 'e2', 'a3']

and append it to the previous one.

ie:

['a1', 'b1', 'c1', 'd1', 'e1', 'a2']
['a2', 'b2', 'c2', 'd2', 'e2', 'a3']


not really sure how to do this right now though, been trying several
methods with no good results.

btw, just creating lagged values (sort of shift registers) on the
incoming signal

Many thanks,

Dave
