Trouble displaying items from lists

[Liquid_Ocelot]

Thanks man I will check that out. Funny I have run into an entirely new problem now

I am trying to write a delete function that asks the user for the nickname they want to delete then deletes the contact details associated with that nickname however I have two problems.

1. When my program goes to print

reply = input("Delete Contact? "+str(Names)+"? [y/[n]] ")

It shows every contact that is in the addressbook not the one that I want to be deleted

and 2.

How do I go about actually deleting an item from the list I dont think this function is written correctly and I would really really appreciate the help as I have a sh*tload of work to get through this month XD

def deletecontact():
           z = input('Who would you like to delete (Enter nickname):')
           for nick in nicknames:
                    if z in nicknames:
                       reply = input("Delete Contact? "+str(Names)+"? [y/[n]] ")
           if z not in nicknames:
                   print ("\nThis Contact Does Not Exist!!\n----------------------\n")
                   if reply=='y':
                       del z
                       print('Contact has been DELETED')
           menu()

Cheers in adv :)
