ah! google is my friend.
for f in filenames:
if not f.endswith('.png')
filenames.remove(f)
Along with lots of warnings to copy from one list to another rather
than delete on an iterating list. But really how much harm could it
do? lol... I think.

I find myself often iterating a list looking to remove the

f.delete()
But I find myself having to do this:
for i in range(len(filenames))::
if not filenames[i].endswith(.png):
del filenames[i]
I'm wondering if there is a way to do the first option? I suppose Im
trying to delete what I'm examining at the same time which maybe is
why it's problematic.
Thanks!
