Summary: Python Tutorial 3.1.4 List example

Initial Comment:
In chapter 3.1.4, there is an example of making and
using a list.  One of the examples is:

>>> a = ['spam', 'eggs', 100, 1234]

>>> a[1:-1]
['eggs', 100]

I didn't type this into Python, but I think that it
should be:

>>> a[1:-1]
['eggs', 1234]

Thanks.

No. ['eggs', 100] is correct.
[1:-1] means not 1 and -1 but from 1 to -1.
