It’s been pointed out to me in the comments that because this answer is heavily … Read more
Use an Iterator and call remove():
As indicated by the other answers, the error is to due to k = list[0:j], where your key is converted to a list. One thing you could try is reworking your code to take advantage of the split function: Note that if you are using Python 3.x, you’ll have to make a minor adjustment to … Read more
The effects of the three different methods to remove an element from a list: remove removes the first matching value, not a specific index: del removes the item at a specific index: and pop removes the item at a specific index and returns it. Their error modes are different too:

IndexError Attribution to Real Python: Understanding the Python Traceback – IndexError The IndexError is raised when attempting to retrieve an index from a sequence (e.g. list, tuple), and the index isn’t found in the sequence.

First, array_length should be an integer and not a string: Second, your for loop should be constructed using range: Third, i will increment automatically, so delete the following line: Note, one could also just zip the two lists given that they have the same length:
It’s pretty simple really: There is also the step value, which can be used with any of the above: The key point to remember is that the :stop value represents the first value that is not in the selected slice. So, the difference between stop and start is the number of elements selected (if step is 1, the default). The other feature is that start or stop may be a negative number, which … Read more
