[Python] Remove element from list and print new list in the same statement

I am using the .remove() function to remove an element from a list and then I want to use directly this new list into another function e.g. the print() function. When I am doing this then I get the following:

print([1, 2, 3])
# [1, 2, 3]

print([1, 2, 3].remove(2))
# None


So if I want to use directly another function (e.g. print()) after an Inplace function such as .remove()then paradoxically I can only do this like this:

print([1, 2, 3])
# [1, 2, 3]

x = [1, 2, 3]
x.remove(2)
print(x)
# [1, 3]


Is there any better way to do this instead of writing this additional source code?

Apparently the same problem applies for all Inplace functions as attributes of other functions I guess.
