You can also iterate over a copy of the list and change the original.
i.e.
a = range(10)
for x in a[:]:
if x % 2 == 0:
a.remove(x)
print a
And yes, I did test it this time.

I just have a hangover from other languages, but I really wanted to
know
how Python handles iteration over a variable which is being changed
within the loop itself. Is the "for" condition evaluated in every
loop?
Its bad practice to delete a member in the collection being iterated
but Python copes OK if you just change the current item.
