for-each does not iterate over all entries of collection, if one removes elements during the iteration.

Example (misbehaving) code:

def keepByValue(self, key=None, value=[]):
    for row in self.flows:
        if not row[key] in value:
            flows.remove(row)

This issue is best posted to python-list and only posted here if it's agreed that it's a bug.

Anyway:

1. You have "self.flows" and "flows", but haven't said what they are.

2. It's recommended that you don't modify a collection while iterating over it, but, instead, build a new collection and then the old one with the new one.
