              routes.remove(routes[i])
    return routes
         


        

Answer 1

if that is your code and needs to be in a loop and removed only once I would do it like that:

def drop_dest(routes,location):
     flag = 1
     for i in range(len(routes)):
          if routes[i] == location and flag == 1:
              routes.remove(routes[i])
              flag = 0
     return routes´
