要删除一个元素的第一次出现，使用list.remove:

>>> xs = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
>>> xs.remove('b')
>>> print(xs)
['a', 'c', 'd']

要移除所有出现的元素，使用列表推导式:

>>> xs = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'b', 'b', 'b', 'b']
>>> xs = [x for x in xs if x != 'b']
>>> print(xs)
['a', 'c', 'd']

正如许多其他答案所述，list.remove()将工作，但如果项不在列表中则抛出ValueError。在python 3.4+中，有一个有趣的方法来处理这个问题，使用suppress contextmanager:

from contextlib import suppress
with suppress(ValueError):
    a.remove('b')

如果你的元素是不同的，那么一个简单的集合差异就可以了。

c = [1,2,3,4,'x',8,6,7,'x',9,'x']
z = list(set(c) - set(['x']))
print z
[1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9]

要删除一个元素的第一次出现，使用list.remove:

>>> xs = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
>>> xs.remove('b')
>>> print(xs)
['a', 'c', 'd']

要移除所有出现的元素，使用列表推导式:

>>> xs = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'b', 'b', 'b', 'b']
>>> xs = [x for x in xs if x != 'b']
>>> print(xs)
['a', 'c', 'd']

一些最简单的基准测试方法:

import random
from copy import copy
sample = random.sample(range(100000), 10000)
remove = random.sample(range(100000), 1000)

%%timeit
sample1 = copy(sample)
remove1 = copy(remove)

for i in reversed(sample1):
    if i in remove1:
        sample1.remove(i)
# 271 ms ± 16 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
# remove all instances

%%timeit
sample1 = copy(sample)
remove1 = copy(remove)

filtered = list(filter(lambda x: x not in remove1, sample1))
# 280 ms ± 18.9 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
# remove all instances

%%timeit
sample1 = copy(sample)
remove1 = copy(remove) 

filtered = [ele for ele in sample1 if ele not in remove1]
# 293 ms ± 72.1 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
# remove all instances

%%timeit
sample1 = copy(sample)
remove1 = copy(remove) 

for val in remove1:
    if val in sample1:
        sample1.remove(val)
# 558 ms ± 40.7 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
# only remove first occurrence

%%timeit
sample1 = copy(sample)
remove1 = copy(remove) 

for val in remove1:
    try:
        sample1.remove(val)
    except:
        pass
# 609 ms ± 11.7 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
# only remove first occurrence

通过索引除希望删除的元素之外的所有内容来覆盖列表

>>> s = [5,4,3,2,1]
>>> s[0:2] + s[3:]
[5, 4, 2, 1]

更普遍的是,

>>> s = [5,4,3,2,1]
>>> i = s.index(3)
>>> s[:i] + s[i+1:]
[5, 4, 2, 1]
