[Tutor] Grouping based on attributes of elements in a List

[Rafael Durán Castañeda]

>From python docs:

For non-negative indices, the length of a slice is the difference of the
indices, if both are within bounds. For example, the length of word[1:3] is
2.

Example:

>>> list_[1][1:3]
('LOOSEFREIGHT', 'MIXEDLCL')
>>>

As I said i think my approach is more pythonic, but I'm not absolutely sure.
With such approach I don't need importing, I use slicing and you are right,
your approach is more flexible and would work on more cases, but in this
particular case I still think unnecessary. Maybe someone else could tell us
which is the best option.
