A few choices, in descending order of Pythonicity:

for index, item in enumerate(lst): # note: don't use list
    if not index: # or if index == 0:
        # first item
    else:
        # other items

Or:

first = True
for item in lst:
    if first:
        first = False
        # first item 
    else:
        # other items 

Or:

for index in range(len(lst)):
    item = lst[i]
    if not index:
        # first item
    else:
        # other items

r/learnpython on Reddit: For loop only iterating through the first object in a list
January 18, 2023 -

Hello everyone, for some reason I can't understand the for loop only iterates through the 1st object in my for loop. I have no idea why this is happening.

The code (ignore the foreign language it's just the keys are in a different language):

python - "For" loop first iteration - Stack Overflow
This is the easiest to understand code and hence more 'Pythonic' than the answers. ... Something like this should work. for i, member in enumerate(something.get()): if i == 0: # Do thing # Code for everything ยท However, I would strongly recommend thinking about your code to see if you really have to do it this way, because it's sort of "dirty". Better would be to fetch the element that needs special handling up front, then do regular handling for all the others in the loop. The only ... More on stackoverflow.com

The indentation (white space) is very important for Python. This loop can be read or interpreted as: go over each element from list, assigning that item to a variable named i and then displaying that variable before next cycle ยท It doesnโ€™t make any sense there, mostly because i does not ...

January 14, 2020 - @Barmar, it definitely doesn't fail for everything. I was failing previously, and I would get ID_list = array full of None @BallpointBen, i is the index, I'm assigning url to be the element of url_list at position i..........at the end of the day, url is correct throughout the whole loop, in any iteration

June 12, 2014 - 2) Your return is inside the loop, so will happen after the first iteration. This is why you only get the first element returned

Python: My for loop doesnt work. Only checks first element - Stack Overflow
August 3, 2017 - It seems to do that because it doesn't loop through the network, it only checks the first person. So if i print add_connection(create_data_structure(example_input), "John", "Mercedes") it does work because John is the first person in the network list. ... Have you tried stepping through this with a debugger? My python is a bit rusty but from the looks of it, the method could terminate after the first iteration if eachPerson["Connected"] is empty.

How can I skip the first element of a for loop? : r/learnpython
July 19, 2017 - Probably best to use a while loop: ... Hope that helps. ... A lot of people here aren't getting to the crux of the issue. You need to understand not only what the syntax is that achieves your desired effect but also under what conditions that syntax is valid. In this case, adding [1:]doesn't work because you are trying to index a generator. The problem is, generators don't play by the same rules as lists, since a generator yields one element at a time rather than referencing memory addresses that are already written to.

Answer (1 of 4): Well you don't really need a loop to get just a single item from a list if you know where the item exist i.e. it's index number or position. E.g. [code]List = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'] # for getting item at index 3 item = List[4] print(item) [/code]But if you need to find somet...
