Sieve of Eratosthenes - Finding Primes Python

Question

Just to clarify, this is not a homework problem :)

I wanted to find primes for a math application I am building & came across Sieve of Eratosthenes approach.

Answer 1

I figured it must be possible to simply use the empty list as the terminating condition for the loop and came up with this:

limit = 100
ints = list(range(2, limit))   # Will end up empty

while len(ints) > 0:
    prime = ints[0]
    print prime
    ints.remove(prime)
    i = 2
    multiple = prime * i
    while multiple <= limit:
        if multiple in ints:
            ints.remove(multiple)
        i += 1
        multiple = prime * i
