你可以使用iteration_utilities.duplicate:

>>> from iteration_utilities import duplicates

>>> list(duplicates([1,1,2,1,2,3,4,2]))
[1, 1, 2, 2]

或者如果你只想要一个副本，可以结合iteration_utilities.unique_everseen:

>>> from iteration_utilities import unique_everseen

>>> list(unique_everseen(duplicates([1,1,2,1,2,3,4,2])))
[1, 2]

它也可以处理不可哈希的元素(但是以性能为代价):

>>> list(duplicates([[1], [2], [1], [3], [1]]))
[[1], [1]]

>>> list(unique_everseen(duplicates([[1], [2], [1], [3], [1]])))
[[1]]

这是只有少数其他方法可以处理的问题。

基准

我做了一个快速的基准测试，其中包含了这里提到的大部分(但不是全部)方法。

第一个基准测试只包含了很小范围的列表长度，因为一些方法具有O(n**2)行为。

在图表中，y轴代表时间，所以值越低越好。它还绘制了log-log，以便更好地可视化广泛的值范围:

除去O(n**2)方法，我在一个列表中做了另一个多达50万个元素的基准测试:

正如您所看到的iteration_utilities。duplicate方法比任何其他方法都快，甚至连链接unique_everseen(duplicate(…))也比其他方法更快或同样快。

这里需要注意的另一件有趣的事情是，熊猫方法对于小列表非常慢，但可以轻松地竞争较长的列表。

然而，由于这些基准测试显示大多数方法的性能大致相同，因此使用哪一种并不重要(除了有O(n**2)运行时的3种方法)。

免责声明

1这是我写的一个第三方库:iteration_utilities。

raw_list = [1,2,3,3,4,5,6,6,7,2,3,4,2,3,4,1,3,4,]

clean_list = list(set(raw_list))
duplicated_items = []

for item in raw_list:
    try:
        clean_list.remove(item)
    except ValueError:
        duplicated_items.append(item)


print(duplicated_items)
# [3, 6, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 1, 3, 4]

基本上可以通过转换为set (clean_list)来删除重复项，然后迭代raw_list，同时删除出现在raw_list中的clean列表中的每个项。如果item未找到，则捕获引发的ValueError异常，并将该item添加到duplicated_items列表中。

如果需要重复项的索引，只需枚举列表并使用索引即可。(对于index, item in enumerate(raw_list):)，对于大型列表(比如上千+的元素)来说，这是更快和优化的

下面是一个快速生成器，它使用dict将每个元素存储为一个带有布尔值的键，用于检查是否已经产生了重复项。

对于所有元素都是可哈希类型的列表:

def gen_dupes(array):
    unique = {}
    for value in array:
        if value in unique and unique[value]:
            unique[value] = False
            yield value
        else:
            unique[value] = True

array = [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 1, 5, 2, 6, 6]
print(list(gen_dupes(array)))
# => [2, 1, 6]

对于可能包含列表的列表:

def gen_dupes(array):
    unique = {}
    for value in array:
        is_list = False
        if type(value) is list:
            value = tuple(value)
            is_list = True

        if value in unique and unique[value]:
            unique[value] = False
            if is_list:
                value = list(value)

            yield value
        else:
            unique[value] = True

array = [1, 2, 2, [1, 2], 3, 4, [1, 2], 5, 2, 6, 6]
print(list(gen_dupes(array)))
# => [2, [1, 2], 6]

我们可以使用itertools。Groupby，以便找到所有有dup的项:

from itertools import groupby

myList  = [2, 4, 6, 8, 4, 6, 12]
# when the list is sorted, groupby groups by consecutive elements which are similar
for x, y in groupby(sorted(myList)):
    #  list(y) returns all the occurences of item x
    if len(list(y)) > 1:
        print x  

输出将是:

4
6

要删除重复项，请使用集合(a)。要打印副本，可以这样做:

a = [1,2,3,2,1,5,6,5,5,5]

import collections
print([item for item, count in collections.Counter(a).items() if count > 1])

## [1, 2, 5]

请注意Counter并不是特别有效(计时)，可能会在这里过度使用。Set会表现得更好。这段代码以源顺序计算一个唯一元素的列表:

seen = set()
uniq = []
for x in a:
    if x not in seen:
        uniq.append(x)
        seen.add(x)

或者，更简洁地说:

seen = set()
uniq = [x for x in a if x not in seen and not seen.add(x)]    

我不推荐后一种风格，因为它不清楚not seen.add(x)在做什么(set add()方法总是返回None，因此需要not)。

计算没有库的重复元素列表:

seen = set()
dupes = []

for x in a:
    if x in seen:
        dupes.append(x)
    else:
        seen.add(x)

或者，更简洁地说:

seen = set()
dupes = [x for x in a if x in seen or seen.add(x)]    

如果列表元素不可哈希，则不能使用set /dicts，必须使用二次时间解决方案(逐个比较)。例如:

a = [[1], [2], [3], [1], [5], [3]]

no_dupes = [x for n, x in enumerate(a) if x not in a[:n]]
print no_dupes # [[1], [2], [3], [5]]

dupes = [x for n, x in enumerate(a) if x in a[:n]]
print dupes # [[1], [3]]

集合。Counter是python 2.7中的新功能:

Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, May 31 2010, 15:03:39) 
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2
a = [1,2,3,2,1,5,6,5,5,5]
import collections
print [x for x, y in collections.Counter(a).items() if y > 1]
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  File "", line 1, in 
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Counter'
>>> 

在早期版本中，你可以使用传统的字典:

a = [1,2,3,2,1,5,6,5,5,5]
d = {}
for elem in a:
    if elem in d:
        d[elem] += 1
    else:
        d[elem] = 1

print [x for x, y in d.items() if y > 1]
