How to remove specific element from an array using python

Your for loop is not right, if you need the index in the for loop use:

for index, item in enumerate(emails):
    # whatever (but you can't remove element while iterating)

In your case, Bogdan solution is ok, but your data structure choice is not so good. Having to maintain these two lists with data from one related to data from the other at same index is clumsy.

A list of tupple (email, otherdata) may be better, or a dict with email as key.

You don't need to iterate the array. Just:

>>> x = ['[email protected]', '[email protected]']
>>> x
['[email protected]', '[email protected]']
>>> x.remove('[email protected]')
>>> x
['[email protected]']

This will remove the first occurence that matches the string.

EDIT: After your edit, you still don't need to iterate over. Just do:

index = initial_list.index(item1)
del initial_list[index]
del other_list[index]

The sane way to do this is to use zip() and a List Comprehension / Generator Expression:

filtered = (
    (email, other) 
        for email, other in zip(emails, other_list) 
            if email == '[email protected]')

new_emails, new_other_list = zip(*filtered)

Also, if your'e not using array.array() or numpy.array(), then most likely you are using [] or list(), which give you Lists, not Arrays. Not the same thing.

Using filter() and lambda would provide a neat and terse method of removing unwanted values:

newEmails = list(filter(lambda x : x != '[email protected]', emails))

This does not modify emails. It creates the new list newEmails containing only elements for which the anonymous function returned True.
