Whoa!
Why on *earth* would you use a while/try/break-combination? IMO a much
more natural solution would be:
"""
def without(source, element):
    result = source[:]
    while element in result:    # changed by PSST; while <- if
        result.remove(element)
    return result
"""
My point was that I wanted a method in the standard libraries, or,
preferrably as a list method. I guess the closest I got wat the filter
suggestion.
