There are a whole heap of ways of doing this. They all have in common the
idea of doing something over and over again until you're finished.
Here's one way, using a loop in a try...except block.
try:
while True:
myList.remove('0024')
# raises an exception when the target isn't in the list any more
except ValueError:
pass # we're done
