#start of program
#------------------------------
alist = ["1","2","3","4","5"]
avar = ''
while 1:
if len(alist) == 0:
break
for item in range(len(alist)):
print "item at list index ", item, " == ", alist[item]
avar = raw_input("type -1 to exit or type the index of the item you want
to remove ")
try:
avar = int(avar)
if avar == -1:
break
elif avar > len(alist):
print "oops error. indexOutOfRange"
else:
del(alist[avar])
except ValueError:
print "oops error. please enter an integer value."
#--------------------------------------------------
And the output:
#------------------------
item at list index 0 == 1
item at list index 1 == 2
item at list index 2 == 3
item at list index 3 == 4
item at list index 4 == 5
type -1 to exit or type the index of the item you want to remove 0
item at list index 0 == 2
item at list index 1 == 3
item at list index 2 == 4
item at list index 3 == 5
type -1 to exit or type the index of the item you want to remove 3
item at list index 0 == 2
item at list index 1 == 3
item at list index 2 == 4
type -1 to exit or type the index of the item you want to remove 2
item at list index 0 == 2
item at list index 1 == 3
type -1 to exit or type the index of the item you want to remove 0
item at list index 0 == 3
type -1 to exit or type the index of the item you want to remove -1
