Milton,

This isn't terribly elegant, but it gets the job done:

dirs = ['C:\Images', 'C:\Images\2006', 'C:\Images\2007', 'C:\Music', 
'C:\Files', 'C:\Software', 'C:\Software\Python', 'C:\Software\iTunes']     

exclude_list = 
['Software','Images']                                                                                                             


def foo(d):
    retval = d
    for item in exclude_list:
        if item in d:
            retval = False
    return retval

dirs = map(foo, dirs)
dirs = filter(bool, dirs)  # removes the Falses
print dirs
