Question

I have a list like

lst = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f']

I have a pop position list

 p_list = [0,3]

[lst.pop(i) for i in p_list] changed the list to ['b', 'c', 'd', 'f'], here after 1st iteration list get modified. Next pop worked on the new modified list.

But I want to pop the element from original list at index [0,3] so, my new list should be

['b', 'c', 'e', 'f']

Answer 1

Lots of reasonable answers, here’s another perfectly terrible one:

[item for index, item in enumerate(lst) if index not in plist]
