Remove sublist from list of dic

Question

I have these two lists and I would like to remove those elements already processes from total list.

processed = ['a','b','c']

total = [(1, 'a', 'alaksdl'),
         (2, 'x', 'asda'),
         (3, 'b', 'asda'),
         (4, 'c', 'wef'),
         (5, 'e', 'asaaa'),         
         (5, 'j', 'asd')                     
]

So, my final desired output would be:

total = [(2, 'x', 'asda'),(5, 'e', 'asaaa'),(5, 'j', 'asd')]

Answer 1

Simply use list comprehension and make sure x[1] will not in processed list.

[x for x in total if x[1] not in processed]
