Works, but slowly. Here's another that appears to be the best on large lists, at least for removing 1 element. It's O(len(list) * number_to_be_removed). !def method_try_remove(lst, remove_this): ! try: ! while 1: ! lst.remove(remove_this) ! except: ! pass -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
