Oops, should be

my_list = [e for i, e in enumerate(my_list) if not some_condition]

I frequently need the debugger myself.

Here’s how I’d do it:

my_list = [e for i, e in enumerate(my_list) if some_condition]

I learned that this was really bad code, I am still in the process of catching up with what is pythonic, and that was just to illustrate the problem. thanks anyway

Regarding your code, using filter() (or itertools.ifilter) would probably be a better way to do what you’re doing. Iterating over the length of the list, and removing items by index, is very bad form (in Python).

winpdb is a new debugger that is quite nice:
