在Python中，只需一次迭代就可以找到被愚弄的人，这是一个非常简单快速的方法:

testList = ['red', 'blue', 'red', 'green', 'blue', 'blue']

testListDict = {}

for item in testList:
  try:
    testListDict[item] += 1
  except:
    testListDict[item] = 1

print testListDict

输出内容如下:

>>> print testListDict
{'blue': 3, 'green': 1, 'red': 2}

在没有任何python数据结构的帮助下，你可以简单地尝试下面的代码。这将工作于寻找重复的各种输入，如字符串，列表等。

# finding duplicates in unsorted an array 
def duplicates(numbers):
    store=[]
    checked=[]
    for i in range(len(numbers)):
        counter =1 
        for j in range(i+1,len(numbers)):
            if numbers[i] not in checked and numbers[j]==numbers[i] :
                counter +=1 
        if counter > 1 :
            store.append(numbers[i])
            checked.append(numbers[i])
    return store

print(duplicates([1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,5]))  # output:  [2, 3, 4]
print(duplicates("madam"))              # output:  ['m', 'a']

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

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:

当列表首先被打乱时，排序的代价就变得明显了——效率显著下降，@moooeeeep方法占主导地位，set和dict方法类似，但性能较差:

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]

简单地检查，对于所有列表项，如果一个项的第一个索引等于该项的最后一个索引:

>>> lastindex = lambda arr, el: len(arr) - arr[::-1].index(el) -1
>>> is_duplicate  = lambda arr, el: arr.index(el) != lastindex(arr, el)
>>> duplicates = lambda arr: [*set(x for x in arr if is_duplicate(arr, x))]
>>> 
>>> a=[2,3,5,7,11,13, 2,17,7,7,17,18,3,19,5,2,7,48,48,2,19]
>>> duplicates(a)
[2, 3, 5, 7, 48, 17, 19]
>>>
