#!/usr/bin/python
indexthis = "Enter the dragon"[0:3]
print(indexthis)

The output

$ ./main.py
Ent

The range can be given in the print function instead of the variable.

#!/usr/bin/python
indexthis = "Enter the dragon"
print(indexthis[0:3])

Leaving out the last digit from the range, i.e. [0:] range will print 0 to the end of the string. result: Enter the dragon

Leaving out the first digit from the range, i.e. [:4] range will print 0 to 4. result: Ente

Leaving both digits out, i.e. [:] will copy the string.
