Sadly, that isn't a slick trick in Python. It would be nice for that to valid, but code can get confusing this way.
messy_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
messy_list.insert(0, messy_list.pop(3))
# messy_list.remove("a", False, [1,2,3]) Incorrect. Python only excepts ONE argument.
# Correct (but long) way:
messy_list.remove("a")
messy_list.remove(False)
messy_list.remove([1,2,3])
I hope this helps. ~Alex
