How can I delete a list in a list, such as:
I create a list of lists



and use the .append to add to the list, so that after user adds a few items like:



How could I get it to delete just one of those lists after finding said list, such as:


So how would I get what I found deleted?

Probably a few ways, as always, you will want to use the right way.

pop I believe is what you're looking for, there is also remove and you could manually use del list[0] at the index but that's dirty.

https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/datastructures.html

That is what I currently have, but I am running into 2 issues:

Lets say I have [[dresser, 15], [dresser, 17]] and I put in a value of 16 for item offer
It will print:
"Sold dresser for 17"

Then it will not delete anything.

When I want it to print:
"Sold dresser for 15"






Edit: Got it to delete now, but it is still finding and deleting the wrong item.

pop would return the values from the index you need them from and also remove them in same action, which might be useful for what you need rather than manually calling remove.

I would honestly just use dictionaries, you could create {key:value} objects quickly with lists formatted like these just using dict(zip(list))
