Walking lists

[lallous]

Hello


I am still learning Python, and have a question, perhaps I can shorten
the code:

L = (
  (1, 2, 3),
  (4,),
  (5,),
  (6, 7)
)

for x in L:
    print x

What I want, is to write the for loop, something like this:

for (first_element, the_rest) in L:
  print first_element
  for x in the_rest:
    # now access the rest of the elements

I know I can :
for x in L:
    first = x[0]
    rest = x[1:]
    ....
Probably that is not possible, but just asking.

Thanks,
Elias
