Trying to remove inside of a for loop ".remove(i)", it does not remove every match, only the first match.

I'm trying to remove every match inside of the list if given a specific name.

if you test this bellow, it will only remove one of the students in the list. try it putting "jose" in the imput, it will only remove the first "jose".

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE HELP

y = 'c'

student_list = [('jose', 20, 20),('jose', 20, 20),('jose', 20, 20), ('cristina', 20, 20)]

if y == 'c': for i in student_list: student_name = input('Enter the name: '.lower()) if student_name == i[0]: student_list.remove(i) print (student_list)

Sorry, i have found the answer:

y = 'c'

student_list = [('jose', 20, 20),('jose', 20, 20),('jose', 20, 20), ('cristina', 20, 20)]

if y == 'c': for i in student_list: #'jose', 20, 20' student_name = input('Enter the name: '.lower()) #'jose' if student_name == i[0]: while i in student_list: student_list.remove(i) print (student_list)
