Description

Error reported in course pythonds on page ImplementinganUnorderedListLinkedLists by user anonymous sprrkcss777@gmail.com
The Complete UnorderedList Class (unorderedlistcomplete)
This active code has error in the remove function.
When you supply to a value to remove function that is not in the list, it gives a syntax error.
The condition where current becomes equal to None is not handled. Maybe there should be message like "Not found"

Research direction
