Re: string issue

[Alan McIntyre]

I think it's because you're modifying the list as you're iterating over 
it.  Try this:

import time
ips = ['255.255.255.255', '128.173.120.79', '198.82.247.98', 
'127.0.0.1', '255.0.0.0', '255', '128.173.255.34']
ips_new = []
for ip in ips:
    if '255' not in ip:
        ips_new.append(ip)

print ips_new

Or this:
ips_new = [ip for ip in ips if '255' not in ip]
print ips_new
Hope this helps,

Either I'm crazy and I'm missing the obvious here or there is something 
wrong with this code. Element 5 of this list says it doesn't contain the 
string 255, when that's *ALL* it contains... why would it think that???

import time
ips = ['255.255.255.255', '128.173.120.79', '198.82.247.98', 
'127.0.0.1', '255.0.0.0', '255', '128.173.255.34']

for ip in ips:
    if '255' in ip:
        try:
            print "Removing", ip
            ips.remove(ip)
        except Exception, e:
            print e
print ips
time.sleep(5)
Someone tell me I'm going crazy ;)
