Python Remove All Numbers From A List

I have a list of unicode elements and I'm trying to remove all integer numbers from It. My code is: List = [u'123', u'hello', u'zara', u'45.3', u'pluto'] for el in List: if is

Solution 1:

You list consists of unicode strings which are no instances of int obviously. You can try converting them to int in a helper function and use this as a condition to remove them/ to construct a new list.

def repr_int(s):
    try: 
        int(s)
        return True
    except ValueError:
        return False

original_list = [u'123', u'hello', u'zara', u'45.3', u'pluto']

list_with_removed_ints = [elem for elem in original_list if not repr_int(elem)]
