Python inverse endswith() method

Question

I hava a very simple piece of code, similar to this:

if var1.endswith("/"):
    print("whatever")

What can I do to inverse the if, except using an else statement? Like I want to print "whatever" if var1 does not end with "/"

Thanks,

In addition to the other answers, you could just index the last char of the string:

if var1[-1] != '/':
   print("whatever")
