假设我有一个字典列表:

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

如何获得唯一字典的列表(删除重复项)?

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

我总结了我最喜欢的尝试:

# ----------------------------------------------
# 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)

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)]

因此,创建一个临时字典,键为id。这将过滤掉重复的内容。 dict的values()将是列表

在Python2.7

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

在Python3

>>> L=[
... {'id':1,'name':'john', 'age':34},
... {'id':1,'name':'john', 'age':34},
... {'id':2,'name':'hanna', 'age':30},
... ] 
>>> list({v['id']:v for v in L}.values())
[{'age': 34, 'id': 1, 'name': 'john'}, {'age': 30, 'id': 2, 'name': 'hanna'}]

在Python2.5/2.6

>>> L=[
... {'id':1,'name':'john', 'age':34},
... {'id':1,'name':'john', 'age':34},
... {'id':2,'name':'hanna', 'age':30},
... ] 
>>> dict((v['id'],v) for v in L).values()
[{'age': 34, 'id': 1, 'name': 'john'}, {'age': 30, 'id': 2, 'name': 'hanna'}]

这里提到的所有答案都很好,但在一些答案中,如果字典项有嵌套的列表或字典,就会面临错误,所以我建议简单的答案

a = [str(i) for i in a]
a = list(set(a))
a = [eval(i) for i in a]

我总结了我最喜欢的尝试:

  {"id":"1", "lala": "value_1"},
  {"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)

# -----------------------------------------------

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)

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'}]
