Here is how to get the last item of a list in Python.

# Create a sample list
images = ['house.png', 'street.png', 'forrest.png'] 

# Get the last item
last = images[-1] 

# Print the last item
print(last) 

Copy & Run

forrest.png

The -1 index always returns the last item of a Python list. The -2 index would return the item before the last item, and so on.
