Remove items from a list

[Stan Cook]

Yes, I used the listdir.  The list is a list of files in the
directory.  I want to filter everything out but the ".dbf"
files.

: What is the content of _dbases?  How do you create that
list?  If I
: understand correctly, it is a list of file names that you
may have gotten
: with os.listdir( ).
:
: And I want to make sure I understand the problem.  Are you
trying to remove
: the names from the list or are you trying to remove the
files themselves?
: Just making sure that it's not the latter...

: Can you put more in your example, something that I may be
able to run and
: see the results?

: for each in _dbases:

:             del each            # also tried:   del
_dbases[x]
