    <p>I have a python list like:</p> <pre><code>['A /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/packaging/DEBIAN/control', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/create_cosmos_installer.sh', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/packaging/DEBIAN/control', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/scripts/create_skyline_installer.sh', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/forms.py', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/tables.py', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/templates/flavors/_create.html', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/templates/flavors/_edit.html', 'A /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/scripts/create_skyline_installer.sh', 'A /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/forms.py', 'A /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/tables.py', 'A /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/templates/flavors/_create.html'] </code></pre> <p>Now the first character of each string is either <code>A</code> or <code>M</code>. Apart from this first letter, some of the strings are identical: for example the two strings ending with <code>create_skyline_installer.sh</code>, 5th from the top and 4th from the bottom.</p> <p>Now what I am trying to achieve is to find strings where after <code>A</code> or <code>M</code> the rest of the body of the string is same. Then I want to remove the list element which is starting with <code>M</code>.</p> <p>I mean the final list should look like this:</p> <pre><code>['A /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/packaging/DEBIAN/control', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/create_cosmos_installer.sh', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/packaging/DEBIAN/control', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/scripts/create_skyline_installer.sh', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/forms.py', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/tables.py', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/templates/flavors/_create.html', 'M /cloudos-ui/branches/bare_metal/templates/flavors/_edit.html'] </code></pre> <p>But I am unable to find a solution.</p> <p>Please help me out.</p>

    2. CORather than copying and pasting the whole list, why can't you just create something smaller than denotes what you wanted to achieve? My eyes really hurts to see this mesh.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
