title: Slice to the end of a string without using len()
body: <p>With string indices, is there a way to slice to end of string without using <code>len()</code>?</p>
  <p>Negative indices start from the end, but <code>[-1]</code> omits the final character.</p>
  <pre><code>word = &quot;Help&quot;
  word[1:-1]  # But I want to grab up to end of string!
  word[1:len(word)]  # Works but is there anything better?
  </code></pre>
