这里有一个简洁明了的解决方案——

for x in set(li):
    li.remove(x)

li = list(set(li))

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]]

some_list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'b', 'd', 'm', 'n', 'n']
some_dictionary = {}

for element in some_list:
    if element not in some_dictionary:
       some_dictionary[element] = 1
    else:
        some_dictionary[element] += 1

for key, value in some_dictionary.items():
    if value > 1:
       print(key, end = ' ')

# another way
duplicates = []

for x in some_list:
    if some_list.count(x) > 1 and x not in duplicates:
        duplicates.append(x)

print()
print(duplicates)

使用sort()函数。重复项可以通过遍历它并检查l1[i] == l1[i+1]来识别。

另一种解决方案如下所示，不使用任何集合库。

a = [1,2,3,5,4,6,4,21,4,6,3,32,5,2,23,5]
duplicates = []

for i in a:
    if a.count(i) > 1 and i not in duplicates:
        duplicates.append(i)

print(duplicates)

输出是[2,3,5,4,6]

我在寻找相关的东西时遇到了这个问题-想知道为什么没有人提供基于生成器的解决方案?解决这个问题的方法是:

>>> print list(getDupes_9([1,2,3,2,1,5,6,5,5,5]))
[1, 2, 5]

我很关心可伸缩性，所以测试了几种方法，包括在小列表上工作得很好的naive项，但随着列表变大，可伸缩性很差(注意-使用timeit会更好，但这只是说明)。

我加入了@moooeeeep作为比较(它的速度非常快:如果输入列表是完全随机的，速度最快)和itertools方法，对于大多数排序的列表，它甚至更快……现在包括来自@ fireynx的熊猫方法-缓慢，但不是可怕的，而且简单。注意:在我的机器上，sort/tee/zip方法对于大型有序列表始终是最快的，moooeeeep对于洗牌列表是最快的，但您的情况可能会有所不同。

优势

非常快速简单的测试'任何'重复使用相同的代码

假设

重复项只应报告一次 重复的订单不需要保留 Duplicate可能位于列表中的任何位置

“all dupes”测试的结果是一致的，在这个数组中找到“first”重复，然后是“all”重复:
