python列表复制的差异,查找python列表之间的交集/差异

I have two python lists:

a = [('when', 3), ('why', 4), ('throw', 9), ('send', 15), ('you', 1)]

b = ['the', 'when', 'send', 'we', 'us']

I need to filter out all the elements from a that are similar to those in b. Like in this case, I should get:

c = [('why', 4), ('throw', 9), ('you', 1)]

What should be the most effective way?

A list comprehension will work.

a = [('when', 3), ('why', 4), ('throw', 9), ('send', 15), ('you', 1)]

b = ['the', 'when', 'send', 'we', 'us']

filtered = [i for i in a if not i[0] in b]

>>>print(filtered)

[('why', 4), ('throw', 9), ('you', 1)]
