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)

可能有更优雅的解决方案，但我认为最好添加一个更详细的解决方案，使其更容易遵循。这里假设没有唯一键，你有一个简单的k,v结构，并且你使用的python版本保证了列表顺序。这适用于原来的职位。

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

# list of keys
keys = [k for k in data_set[0]]

# Create a List of Lists of the values from the data Set
data_set_list = [[v for v in v.values()] for v in data_set]

# Dedupe
new_data_set = []
for lst in data_set_list:
    # Check if list exists in new data set
    if lst in new_data_set:
        print(lst)
        continue
    # Add list to new data set
    new_data_set.append(lst)

# Create dicts
new_data_set = [dict(zip(keys,lst)) for lst in new_data_set]    

print(new_data_set)

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'}]

一个快速的解决方案是生成一个新列表。

sortedlist = []

for item in listwhichneedssorting:
    if item not in sortedlist:
        sortedlist.append(item)

这是我找到的解决方案:

usedID = []

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

for each in x:
    if each['id'] in usedID:
        x.remove(each)
    else:
        usedID.append(each['id'])

print x

基本上你检查ID是否存在于列表中，如果存在，删除字典，如果不存在，将ID追加到列表中

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]
