Remove Item From List if Found in Python

Question

How can i remove an item from a list if it is found to match another item from another list?

for item in bigIpList:
    for item2 in smallIpList:
        if item==item2:
            #remove item from bigIpList

@Rogalski That is the opposite of what the OP wants to do. That removes the elements he wants to keep. It should be `bigIpList = [item for item in bigIpList if item not in smallIpList]` — mbomb007, May 23 '16 at 20:37

use filter:

bigIpList = filter(lambda e: e not in smallIpList, bigIpList)
