How to pass the list starting from nth element

Question

Suppose I have a list [1,2,3,4,5]. Now I want to pass the elements of this list, starting from 3rd element to a method.

i.e. i want to invoke:

myfunction([3,4,5])

How can I do this in python. tried passing mylist[2], but it doesn't quite work this way it seems.

Try list slice - myfunction(mylist[2:]) – Tanveer Alam Apr 18 '14 at 13:19 — Tanveer Alam, Apr 18 '14 at 13:19
read about `slices`. use `mylist[2:]` – njzk2 Apr 18 '14 at 13:20 — njzk2, Apr 18 '14 at 13:20

mylist = range(1,6)
>> [1,2,3,4,5]
myfunction(mylist[2:])
>> [3,4,5]
