Remove the last N elements of a list

Question

Is there a a better way to remove the last N elements of a list.

for i in range(0,n):
    lst.pop( )

Answer 1

if you wish to remove the last n elements, in other words, keep first len - n elements:

lst = lst[:len(lst)-n]

Note: This is not an in memory operation. It would create a shallow copy.
