Removing elements that have consecutive duplicates

Question

I was curios about the question: Eliminate consecutive duplicates of list elements, and how it should be implemented in Python.

What I came up with is this:

Answer 1

Plenty of better/more pythonic answers above, however one could also accomplish this task using list.pop():

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 5, 5]
for x in my_list[:-1]:
    next_index = my_list.index(x) + 1
    if my_list[next_index] == x:
        my_list.pop(next_index)

outputs

[1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 5]
