如果字典中没有唯一的id，那么我将保持简单，并定义如下函数:

def unique(sequence):
    result = []
    for item in sequence:
        if item not in result:
            result.append(item)
    return result

这种方法的优点是，您可以为任何可比较的对象重用此函数。它使您的代码非常可读，适用于所有现代版本的Python，保持字典中的顺序，并且与其他选项相比速度也很快。

>>> L = [
... {'id': 1, 'name': 'john', 'age': 34},
... {'id': 1, 'name': 'john', 'age': 34},
... {'id': 2, 'name': 'hanna', 'age': 30},
... ] 
>>> unique(L)
[{'id': 1, 'name': 'john', 'age': 34}, {'id': 2, 'name': 'hanna', 'age': 30}]

如果字典仅由所有项唯一标识(ID不可用)，则可以使用JSON来使用答案。下面是一个不使用JSON的替代方法，只要所有字典值都是不可变的，它就可以工作

[dict(s) for s in set(frozenset(d.items()) for d in L)]

扩展John La Rooy (Python -唯一字典列表)的答案，使其更加灵活:

def dedup_dict_list(list_of_dicts: list, columns: list) -> list:
    return list({''.join(row[column] for column in columns): row
                for row in list_of_dicts}.values())

调用函数:

sorted_list_of_dicts = dedup_dict_list(
    unsorted_list_of_dicts, ['id', 'name'])

对象可以放入集合中。您可以使用对象而不是字典，如果需要，在所有set插入后转换回字典列表。例子

class Person:
    def __init__(self, id, age, name):
        self.id = id
        self.age = age
        self.name = name

my_set = {Person(id=2, age=3, name='Jhon')}

my_set.add(Person(id=3, age=34, name='Guy'))

my_set.add({Person(id=2, age=3, name='Jhon')})

# if needed convert to list of dicts
list_of_dict = [{'id': obj.id,
                 'name': obj.name,
                 'age': obj.age} for obj in my_set]

这里有一个内存开销很小的实现，代价是不像其他实现那样紧凑。

values = [ {'id':2,'name':'hanna', 'age':30},
           {'id':1,'name':'john', 'age':34},
           {'id':1,'name':'john', 'age':34},
           {'id':2,'name':'hanna', 'age':30},
           {'id':1,'name':'john', 'age':34},]
count = {}
index = 0
while index < len(values):
    if values[index]['id'] in count:
        del values[index]
    else:
        count[values[index]['id']] = 1
        index += 1

输出:

[{'age': 30, 'id': 2, 'name': 'hanna'}, {'age': 34, 'id': 1, 'name': 'john'}]

我总结了我最喜欢的尝试:

https://repl.it/@SmaMa/Python-List-of-unique-dictionaries

# ----------------------------------------------
# Setup
# ----------------------------------------------

myList = [
  {"id":"1", "lala": "value_1"},
  {"id": "2", "lala": "value_2"}, 
  {"id": "2", "lala": "value_2"}, 
  {"id": "3", "lala": "value_3"}
]
print("myList:", myList)

# -----------------------------------------------
# Option 1 if objects has an unique identifier
# -----------------------------------------------

myUniqueList = list({myObject['id']:myObject for myObject in myList}.values())
print("myUniqueList:", myUniqueList)

# -----------------------------------------------
# Option 2 if uniquely identified by whole object
# -----------------------------------------------

myUniqueSet = [dict(s) for s in set(frozenset(myObject.items()) for myObject in myList)]
print("myUniqueSet:", myUniqueSet)

# -----------------------------------------------
# Option 3 for hashable objects (not dicts)
# -----------------------------------------------

myHashableObjects = list(set(["1", "2", "2", "3"]))
print("myHashAbleList:", myHashableObjects)
