Python string slice indices - slice to end of stri

Question

With string indices, is there a way to slice to end of string without using len()? Negative indices start from the end, but [-1] omits the final character.

word = "Help"
word[1:-1] # But I want to grab up to end of string!
word[1:len(word)] # Works but is there anything better?

Answer 1

word="Help" 
word[:]

'Help'
