Python list rotation [duplicate]

by 
def rotate(l, n):
    return l[-n:] + l[:-n]

More conventional direction:

def rotate(l, n):
    return l[n:] + l[:n]

Example:

example_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

rotate(example_list, 2)
# [3, 4, 5, 1, 2]

The arguments to rotate are a list and an integer denoting the shift. The function creates two new lists using slicing and returns the concatenatenation of these lists. The rotate function does not modify the input list.
