list.remove for Novices

[Arthur Siegel]

I see that my -
 
>>>foo = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>>for bar in foo:
...        foo.remove(bar)

issue which I ran into trying to follow suggestions for
my permutations problem was addressed beginning
at:

<mailman.1002041942.4167.python-list at python.org>


But damn it to hell. Even when I try to be a normal Python
guy, and just post up "technical" problems, I get into- 
or raise - issues/controversary.

Because I am being asked to accept that the list.remove
behavior is somehow apparent - rather than a true
trap for the novice.  At the same time I'm being told
that I can't be expected to be able to  handle 1/4=0 - 
though that behavior is clearly documented and 
shared with many other languages.

Wish I could be hooked up to electrodes which
would read-out the *real* issues a novice faces
with Python.  Because I have to accept that the
desire to address those issues is real, just often
being based on misinformation.
