These examples also have a reasonable implementation using list.pop(),
albeit one that requires more typing.  On the plus side, it does not violate
DRY and is explicit about the error cases.

  args = input.split()
  try:
    cmd = input.pop(0)
  except IndexError:
    cmd = ''

  rest = args    # or args[:] if you really did want a copy
  try:
    arg1 = rest.pop(0)
    arg2 = rest.pop(0)
  except IndexError:
    raise TypeError("foo() takes at least 2 arguments")
