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 ;)
You are modifying the list as you iterate over it. Instead, iterate over a copy by using:
for ip in ips[:]: ...

Very neat. That's a trick that everyone should know about. I vote it goes in Dr. Dobbs newsletter.
