[docs] Python.remove() function working on all list instead of one.

[Julien Palard]

Hi Shayer,

Thanks for reporting!

In this case, you're having a single list, but three names to name it: The list is [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and the list names are a, b, and c.

So when you modify a list by one of its name, you can see the modification thrue the other names. Not only for deletions:

>>> a = list(range(10))
>>> b = a
>>> a.append('foo')
>>> b
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 'foo']

If you want two lists you can create two distinct lists, or use the copy method:

>>> a = list(range(10))
>>> b = a.copy()
>>> a.append(42)
>>> b
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Hope it helps!
Bests,
