Would someone like to suggest a replacement for this? It works ok,
but it doesn't look like any of the other code:
tempList = ['1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8']
sampleList=[]
for port in tempList:
pagefound = False
for i in range(self.parent.GetPageCount()):
page=self.parent.GetPage(i)
if hasattr(page, "port"):
if page.port == int(port):
pagefound=True
if not pagefound:
sampleList.append(port)
Thanks!

Look at good questions. This is a _very_ underspecified question.
One stab at mindreading:
def ported_pages(self):
for i in range(self.parent.GetPageCount()):
if hasattr(page, 'port'):
yield page
...
tempList = ['1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8']
missing = dict((int(v), v) for v in tempList)
for page in self.ported_pages():

missing.pop(page.port)
if not missing:

sampleList = missing.values()

Does page count change? i.e. is it necessary to retrieve it in every
loop or
tempList = ['1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8']
sampleList=[]
page_count = self.parent.GetPageCount()
<snipped>
for i in range(page_count):
Also, once pagefound is set to True, all pages following will not be
appended to sampleList because it is not initialized to False under
the "for i in range(self.parent.GetPageCount())" loop.
Finally, if I understand the logic and question correctly, you want
something like
tempList = ['1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8']
sampleList=[]
page_count = self.parent.GetPageCount()
for port in tempList:
for i in range(page_count):
page=self.parent.GetPage(i)
if (hasattr(page, "port")) and (page.port != int(port)) :
sampleList.append(port)
or perhaps (I'm not sure)
tempList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
sampleList=[]
page_count = self.parent.GetPageCount()
for i in range(page_count):
page=self.parent.GetPage(i)
if (hasattr(page, "port")) and (page.port not in tempList) :
sampleList.append(port)

Wos! Several different thoughts:
An object using yield to return only the relevant pages, one at a time.
Pop to remove the items from the list.
A dictionary to map between the strings and the integers.
The dictionary was particularly unexpected. Eventually, I
plan to change the string ports to device names. On the other
hand, it looks like the only reason I have port numbers is
to use as an index in things like this.
After examining your suggestion, I realised that another thing
I am interested in could be generalised: I want the complement
of the set of ports in pages, given a universal set in tempList.
Ignoring the break condition for the moment, and my problem
with int(port)/str(port), would you have offered a different solution
if I had asked for the relative complement of a small set?
a= ['a','b','c']
b= ['b']
c= a-b #set theoretic difference, a\b, a.~b, ['a','c']

Excellent. By symmetry, I see that "list" casts the set back into a list.
I wonder why list has not been extended with the same (difference,
interesection) methods? Casting to set looks a little kludgy:
c = list(set(a)-set(b))
I wonder if that is clearer than the explicit loop?

This isn't a "cast" in the sense of some less-strongly-typed languages;
it's just a conversion. The `list` function/type iterates over its
argument and turns it into a list. Sets are iterable, so that's all
that's really going on here.
The reason that lists don't have set-like methods is because lists
aren't sets -- lists can contain duplicate elements, whereas sets
cannot. You should use the proper type for your needs; if you want to
take two lists, remove duplicate elements, and then end up with a list,
then the sets-difference-and-then-make-a-list mechanism is appropriate.

oh :~). Learning experience happening here... Thank you.

Interesting point -- if that's all there is in it, then lists should
have difference and intersection methods. Not because they
are the same as sets -- because they are slightly different than
sets. In this case it doesn't matter - my lists don't contain
duplicate elements this time - but I have worked with lists in
money market and in inventory, and finding the intersection
and difference for matching off and netting out are standard
operations.
Still, any built in feature would probably be too simple to
use in any but the simplest cases.

Is it safe to write
A = [x for x in A if x in U]
or is that undefined? I understand that the slice operation
can be used to make a temporary copy, so I could write
A=[x for x in A[:] if x in U]
but I've just copied that without any understanding.

If your question is 'is self.parent.GetPageCount()' called for each
iteration of this loop, then the answer is obviously 'no', and it's
quite easy to check it out:
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May 2 2007, 16:56:35)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2

>>def test():
.... print "test called"
.... return range(5)
....
>>for x in test(): print x
....
test called
0
1
2
3

>>>
Now if you need to use the result of self.parent.GetPageCount() more
than once in the same function and this result is not likely to change
during the function's execution, you're certainly better storing it in a
local variable - but now that's such a CS101 thing that it's probably
not even worth mentionning.
IOW, Zentrader's remark was at best misleading, at worst plain wrong...

At least that way you're spared the manual manipulation of i.
On second thought, that last suggestion is flawed, as a growing
page count would be ignored. Please ignore.
