title: Remove odd-indexed elements from list in Python
body: <p>I'm trying to remove the odd-indexed elements from my list (where zero is considered even) but removing them this way won't work because it throws off the index values.</p>
  
  <pre><code>lst = ['712490959', '2', '623726061', '2', '552157404', '2', '1285252944', '2', '1130181076', '2', '552157404', '3', '545600725', '0']
  
  
  def remove_odd_elements(lst):
      i=0
      for element in lst:
          if i % 2 == 0:
              pass
          else:
              lst.remove(element)
          i = i + 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I iterate over my list and cleanly remove those odd-indexed elements?</p>
