Indexing lists in python, for a range of values

Getting late and I haven't the strength to work this out :S

To my knowledge, indexing with -1 will bring you up the last item in a list e.g.

list = 'ABCDEFG'
list[-1] 
'G'

But when you are asking for a sequence from the list, -1 gives the second to last term in a list,

list[3:-1] 
'DEF'

Why? I would have expected, and would like to get DEFG.

Thank you.
