Is there a simple way to delete a list element by value?

Question

I want to remove a value from a list if it exists in the list (which it may not).

a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
b = a.index(6)

del a[b]
print(a)

If you know what value to delete, here's a simple way (as simple as I can think of, anyway):

a = [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4]
while a.count(1) > 0:
    a.remove(1)

You'll get [0, 0, 2, 3, 4]
