[Bf-python] update list

[Campbell Barton]

All blender strings are supposed to have utf8 compatible, but this was
only enforced recently so its quite possible some older blender files
have latin1 characters in the name.

You need to manually rename any non utf8 names so blender/python can
deal with them.
to find out which, print the object first, before getting its .name attribute.

> I am programming a script, at one point I need to update a list that contains a group of objects, that is, I run:

>    bool = True
>    for i in list:
>        if i.name == element.name:

>    return bool

> def update_list():        //// if element of list_of_objects isn't in temp, delete this element
>    bpy.context.scene.update()
>    temp = bpy.context.scene.objects

>    for i in list_of_objects:
>        a = find(temp, i)
>        if a:
>            list_of_objects.remove(i)

> in short, I want to leave my only objects that are still on the scene, but but I get this error:
