This is where I have ended up. Without itertools and max its what I got currently.

def maximum(listarg):
    myMax = listarg[0]
    for item in listarg:
        for i in listarg[listarg.index(item)+1:len(listarg)]:
            if myMax < i:
                myMax = i

    return myMax

How would you simplify it?
