Forget the rigamarole you posted, which has several defects.
If you must modify the list in place, because you have multiple references
to it:
lst[:] = filter(lambda x: not pred(x), lst)
Wouldn't
lst[:] = [x for x in lst if not pred(x)]
be more direct?
Otherwise, just lst = filter(....)
And similarly
lst = [x for x in lst if not pred(x)]
