这里有一个相当紧凑的解决方案，尽管我怀疑不是特别有效(委婉地说):

>>> ds = [{'id':1,'name':'john', 'age':34},
...       {'id':1,'name':'john', 'age':34},
...       {'id':2,'name':'hanna', 'age':30}
...       ]
>>> map(dict, set(tuple(sorted(d.items())) for d in ds))
[{'age': 30, 'id': 2, 'name': 'hanna'}, {'age': 34, 'id': 1, 'name': 'john'}]

在python 3.6+(我已经测试过了)中，只需使用:

import json

#Toy example, but will also work for your case 
myListOfDicts = [{'a':1,'b':2},{'a':1,'b':2},{'a':1,'b':3}]
#Start by sorting each dictionary by keys
myListOfDictsSorted = [sorted(d.items()) for d in myListOfDicts]

#Using json methods with set() to get unique dict
myListOfUniqueDicts = list(map(json.loads,set(map(json.dumps, myListOfDictsSorted))))

print(myListOfUniqueDicts)

解释:我们正在映射json。转储将字典编码为json对象，这是不可变的。Set可用于生成包含唯一不可变对象的迭代对象。最后，我们使用json.loads转换回字典表示。注意，一开始，必须按键排序才能以唯一的形式排列字典。这对于Python 3.6+是有效的，因为字典在默认情况下是有序的。

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'}]

我不知道你是否只希望列表中dicts的id是唯一的，但如果目标是有一组dict，其中所有键的值都是唯一的。你应该像这样使用元组键:

>>> L=[
...     {'id':1,'name':'john', 'age':34},
...    {'id':1,'name':'john', 'age':34}, 
...    {'id':2,'name':'hanna', 'age':30},
...    {'id':2,'name':'hanna', 'age':50}
...    ]
>>> len(L)
4
>>> L=list({(v['id'], v['age'], v['name']):v for v in L}.values())
>>>L
[{'id': 1, 'name': 'john', 'age': 34}, {'id': 2, 'name': 'hanna', 'age': 30}, {'id': 2, 'name': 'hanna', 'age': 50}]
>>>len(L)
3

希望它能帮助你或其他有顾虑的人....

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)

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

b = {x['id']:x for x in a}.values()

print(b)

输出:

[{“年龄”:34岁“id”:1、“名称”:“约翰”},{“id”:“年龄”:30日2时,“名字”:“汉娜”}]
