Python - Removing first 10 characters of a string

[Mithrilhall]

I'm sure this is easy but I'm new to python so here's my question.

How can I trim the first 5, 10, 20, or x characters of a string?

When you're new to a language and you have a problem, it's good to share your initial thoughts. Have you had any? Otherwise you may just get into the habit of getting answers spoonfed to you, and you won't learn anything.
