Unless you want the check to be always against the initial length of your iterable, rather than its modified state, you'd have to repeat the `n = len(iterable)` inside the loop, or introduce some syntactic caramel of the walrus kind (though I'm not sure if it would work here).

It is actually much simpler: you change 'n' as well:

    while i < n:
      if shouldDelete(iterable[i]):
        del iterable[i]; n -= 1
      else:
        i += 1
