How to change 0 based indexing to 1 based indexing in python..??

[Ruthra]

Python works in 0 based index. I have tried to change the python to work in 1 based index.

python_file_A.py

def __getitem__(self, index):
  return self.list[index-1]
def __setitem__(self, index, value):
  self.list[index-1] = value

python_file_B.py

example_list=['a','b','c','d','e']
print("Before function change : ",example_list[1])
from python_file_A import *
print("After function change : ",example_list[1])

While running python_file_B.py,
Actual Output :
Before function change : b
After function change : b

Expected Output :
Before function change : b
After function change : a

After function change the example_list[1] should give 'a' as output which is example_list[0]
Without using class be preferred. Kindly help to resolve this.
