Since you are not using an iterator of the list, changing it shouldn't cause any problems. You loop (for its control) looks at the loop once, before it starts, so as long as you don't delete any elements (which would cause the index to go to high) you can't have an issue mutating the list. -- Richard Damon -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
