what if he wants to eliminate more than one value at a time; is that possible?  I tried a bunch of ways, the closest I got (methinks) to success was:

>>> a[[index for index in range(len(a)) a[index] not in (0,2)]]

That gave an invalid syntax error at the third a; using a colon following the len(a)) gave an invalid syntax error at the colon; and using a comma after len(a)) gave a NameError: name 'index' not defined.  Am I just forgetting how to do conditional list comprehension, and/or is this approach doomed to failure anyway?  If the latter, is there an alternative way to do this?

Curious,
