Yep! You use list slicing. Working with smaller numbers for an example:

>>> ltrs=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']
>>> ltrs[:10]
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j']
>>> ltrs[10:20]
['k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't']
>>> ltrs[20:]
['u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']

(I actually created that list as "list(string.ascii_lowercase)" for
what that's worth.)

Slice operations are quite efficient.
