Remove object from a list of objects in python

Question

In Python, how can I remove an object from array of objects? Like this:

x = object() y = object() array = [x,y] # Remove x 

I've tried array.remove() but it only works with a value, not a specific location in the array. I need to be able to delete the object by addressing its position(remove array[0])

Answer 1

In python there are no arrays, lists are used instead. There are various ways to delete an object from a list:

my_list = [1,2,4,6,7]  del my_list[1] # Removes index 1 from the list print my_list # [1,4,6,7] my_list.remove(4) # Removes the integer 4 from the list, not the index 4 print my_list # [1,6,7] my_list.pop(2) # Removes index 2 from the list 

In your case the appropriate method to use is pop, because it takes the index to be removed:

x = object() y = object() array = [x, y] array.pop(0) # Using the del statement del array[0] 

Answer 2

del array[0] 

where 0 is the index of the object in the list (there is no array in python)
