How about using dictionaries? I didn't expect improvement speedwise. I was wrong. That's nothing new: I've been wrong before!def f8(L,e):....d = {}....# The value could be anything, really....d[e.lower()] = d[e.upper()] = True ....L = [x for x in L if not x in d]Timings on my machine:f7 0.43 - 0.48 f8 0.28 - 0.33
This solution works for lists of single characters only! Sorry!

def f8(L,e):
....d = {}
....# The value could be anything, really
....d[e.lower()] = d[e.upper()] = True
....L = [x for x in L if not x in d]
Timings on my machine:
