I think, you mean to remove all lines that are substrings of another
line.

l = ['0132442\n', '13\n', '24\n']
l = [e.strip() for e in l]

i = 0
while True:
try:
for j in range(len(l)):
if i == j:
continue
if l[j].find(l) >= 0:
# line 'j' is superstring of line 'i'
del l
break
else: # doesn't have superstring
i += 1
except IndexError:
break

Basically, I try all n*n combinations, and remove substring lines
"in-place".
