Python 2.7 Tkinter列表框

Question

Is there any way to delete item from a listbox by its name? I'm trying to do something like this:

for name in re.findall('name\=\\"(.*?)\\\"', msg, re.DOTALL):
    listBox.delete(0, name)

but error occurred:

TclError: bad listbox index "something3647": must be active, anchor, end, @x,y, or a number

Names are random. It looks like I can insert something by its name but not delete it.

No, you can't delete by name. You can't really insert it "by name" either. Both insertion and deletion requires an index. However, it's only a couple lines of code to search the listbox for the item by name, and then delete the item that you found.
