string issue

[Alan McIntyre]

I think it's because you're modifying the list as you're iterating over 
it.  Try this:

import time

ips = ['255.255.255.255', '128.173.120.79', '198.82.247.98', 
'127.0.0.1', '255.0.0.0', '255', '128.173.255.34']
ips_new = []
for ip in ips:
     if '255' not in ip:
         ips_new.append(ip)

print ips_new



Or this:

ips_new = [ip for ip in ips if '255' not in ip]
print ips_new


Hope this helps,
