python字符串删除特定字符串开始的所有_Python，删除列表中所有出现的字符串

Say i have a list:

main_list = ['bacon', 'cheese', 'milk', 'cake', 'tomato']

and another list:

second_list = ['cheese', 'tomato']

and I want to remove all elements that are found in the second list, from the main list?

Thank you in advance

If the order is not important you can use sets:

>>> main_array = ['bacon', 'cheese', 'milk', 'cake', 'tomato']

>>> second_array = ['cheese', 'tomato']

>>> set(main_array) & set(second_array)

set(['tomato', 'cheese'])

Here we use the intersection operator, &. Should you only want items not found in your second list, we can use difference, -:

>>> set(main_array) - set(second_array)

set(['cake', 'bacon', 'milk'])
