Milton,
This isn't terribly elegant, but it gets the job done:
dirs = ['C:\Images', 'C:\Images\2006', 'C:\Images\2007', 'C:\Music',
'C:\Files', 'C:\Software', 'C:\Software\Python', 'C:\Software\iTunes']
exclude_list =
['Software','Images']
def foo(d):
retval = d
for item in exclude_list:
if item in d:
retval = False
return retval
dirs = map(foo, dirs)
dirs = filter(bool, dirs) # removes the Falses
print dirs

Hello, I'm trying to exclude files from a list using the following code:
for item in dirs:
if item.find('Software') > -1:
dirs.remove(item)
elif item.find('Images') > -1:
dirs.remove(item)
let's supose dirs = ['C:\Images', 'C:\Images\2006', 'C:\Images\2007',
'C:\Music', 'C:\Files', 'C:\Software', 'C:\Software\Python',
'C:\Software\iTunes']
For some reason.. it just won't exclude them.
I'd like to know why and how to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
Milton
