You have to do this from the caller, in code that has access to the list. There is no general way 
for an object to find out how it is being referenced in external code. Can you show some of the code 
that creates and uses the list? Does the code that calls the class know where the class is in the list?

Is this the linked list you asked about before that is modified from two threads?

del self just removes the link between the name 'self' and the object it references.
