I have tuple which hold a string in tup[0]. I want to get a slice of
that string. I thought I would do something like:
tup[0][start:end]
But this fails. How do I go about it? I googled this and found a couple
of references, but no solution.

No, it doesn't.
>>a = ('abcdefg','hijkl') a[0]
'abcdefg'
>>a[0][1:2]
'b'

Do it correctly. Post your actual example that fails
and the related error message. Possibnly your indexes
were out of range.
I googled this and found a couple
of references, but no solution.
Well, there wouldn't be a solution to a non-existent
problem, would there?

Here's the code:
elapsedTime = mydata[1]
index = elapsedTime.find("real")
# the index will have a value 0f 110
totaltime = elapsedTime[index:]
# instead of this returning a shortened html string, i only
# get the left angle bracket '<'

How would you get a slice of a[0] from your example? 'cde' for example?

May it be that mydata[1] doesn't contain "real" at all? In that case,
find() returns -1, and the slice elapsedTime[-1:] always contains
at most one character.
If you replace "find" by "index", you get a ValueError exception if
"real" was not found, if that helps you.
Whenever one calls str.find(), one has to check the return value for -1.

'b' _was_ a slice of a[0]. but for your specific example
>>a[0][2:5]
'cde'
Keep in mind the "end" value is not returned and indexing
starts with 0, so "cde" represents the 3rd, 4th & 5th
characters making the slice 2:5.

*# the index will have a value 0f 110
*totaltime = elapsedTime[index:]
*# instead of this returning a shortened html string, i only

This implies that '<' is the 111th character (counting
from 0) and that it is the last character since you used
[index:].
Print out the entire string elapsedTime, count from
0 to the characters you want and see if you have the
correct index numbers (verify them).

Oops! I sent the wrong piece of code. The above is actually the work
around which actually works. The bad code is this:
index = mydata[0].find("real")
elapsedTime = mydata[0][index:]
My apologies, but this is what fails.

The only difference is that in the "workaround that works" you're
mungling mydata[1], in the "bad code" mydata[0]. If you print or
otherwise emit the value of index in each case, I think the cause of
your problem will become clear (and it will probably be a value of index
that's -1 for the "failing" case, and >= 0 for the "working" case, as
other posts on this thread have already suggested).
No connection can exist between your problem, and the string being "held
in a tuple" or held in any other fashion.
