Dear Python developers I have the following (sorted) list. ['/notebook', '/notebook/mac', '/notebook/mac/macbook', '/notebook/mac/macbookpro', '/notebook/pc', '/notebook/pc/lenovo', '/notebook/pc/hp', '/notebook/pc/sony', '/desktop', '/desktop/pc/dell', '/desktop/mac/imac', '/server/hp/proliant', '/server/hp/proliant/385', '/server/hp/proliant/585' ]
I want to remove all paths x from the list if there is a path y in the list which is part of x so y.startswith(x) is true.
The list I want to have is: ['/notebook', '/desktop', '/server/hp/proliant'] Any idea how I can do this in Python? Thanks in advance Nico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
