Trimming zero values from Python list

I know how to trim white space characters from string in Python. You can use strip method in str type. (Python does not privde trim method :()

>> ' I know how to write Python  \t'.strip()
'I know how to write Python'

But do you know how to trim zero values from Python list? What I wanted to do was:

>> l = [0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 0]
>> trim(l)
[1, 2, 3]

Numpy provided me an API to do exactly what I wanted to do. trim_zeros.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> l = [0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 0]
>>> np.trim_zeros(l)
[1, 2, 3]

Great!
