[Python] Type casting errors on a list in python. What is the correct way to make sure this...

I'm trying to practice my Python on Leetcode. I am having a type casting issue trying to return this as an integer list. From a little research, it appears this might be because I am using "range" in my for loop. Can someone please show me the correct way to do this without it causing an error? Here is my code:

class Solution(object):
def removeElement(self, nums, val):
for i in range(nums.count(val)):
nums.remove(val)
return nums


Here is the error message:

TypeError: [2, 2] is not valid value for the expected return type integer[]
raise TypeError(str(ret) + " is not valid value for the expected return type
integer[]");
Line 39 in _driver (Solution.py)
_driver()


Line 45 in (Solution.py)

I get the same error doing it this way too

class Solution(object):
def removeElement(self, nums, val):
"""
:type nums: List[int]
:type val: int
:rtype: int
"""
while(nums.count(val) != 0):
nums.remove(val)
return nums
