Short version: So, the gist of this is that I want to truncate list by numerical value and can't seem to do it. I've been looking for solutions by myself for a bit, but since this project is a bit time sensitive and I am a total noob, I've come to you for help.

Long version: I have a data set from a poll, in which answers are coded by 1, 2, ..., 7, 99 with 99 being the value assinged to people who did not answer a particular question. The data was provided as a .csv file, from which I was able to extract the answers in form of a list of the form

data = [ [ 2.0, 3.0, ...] ],

thus a list, which contains the possible values as floats within a list. To solve this problem, I tried to remove the undesired 99 values using the list.remove command, however, since data is a list within a list, I can't use that command and for some reason, I can't use *data.remove(99.0) either, as starred expressions are not allowed. Any ideas how to either turn data into something like

data = [ 2.0, 3.0, ...]

so the list.remove command can do its magic or how to truncate data as it is?

Thank you in advance.

Edit: Thank you, Hexbear, for being a helpful community even to total scrubs who might ask redundant questions that can be solved by a quick google search!

Moderator Pinning Rules:

Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.
Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds ((Example)[https://hexbear.net/post/16574) along with other crowd or moderator-compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example), so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.
Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement, and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision if they should donate.
