Question

I need to remove all values from a set of lists inside a list which are string or lower than 28. Any help?

a[1:3]

a = [[u'ufs_munic', u'ext_paises', u'5', u'6', u'7', u'8', u'5551', u'5552', u'5553', u'5554', u'5555', u'5556', u'5557'], [u'ufs_munic', u'ext_paises', u'5', u'6', u'7', u'8', u'9', u'10', u'11', u'12', u'5301', u'5302', u'289', u'5303', u'5304', u'5305', u'290', u'5306', u'5307', u'5308', u'5309', u'291', u'5310', u'5311', u'5312', u'5313', u'5314', u'5315', u'5316', u'5317', u'292', u'5318', u'5319', u'5320']]

I need to get a result like:

[[u'5551', u'5552', u'5553', u'5554', u'5555', u'5556', u'5557'], [u'5301', u'5302', u'289', u'5303', u'5304', u'5305', u'290', u'5306', u'5307', u'5308', u'5309', u'291', u'5310', u'5311', u'5312', u'5313', u'5314', u'5315', u'5316', u'5317', u'292', u'5318', u'5319', u'5320']]

Answer 1

Use filter.

def passed(item):
    try:
       return int(item) > 28
    except ValueError:
       return False
result = [filter(passed, item) for item in a]
