Hi Dick,
If your interested, this could be done succinctly with set types. (no
iterating required!)
def well_formed(word):
return not set('#.<@') & set(word)
>>> well_formed('porkpie')
True
>>> well_formed('p#rkpie')
False
And then it seems you are coming to terms with list comprehensions...
my_list = [word for word in my_list if well_formed(my_word)]
OR...
my_list = filter(well_formed, my_list)
Ian.
