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'}]

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:

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)

你可以使用numpy库(适用于Python2。x只):

   import numpy as np 

   list_of_unique_dicts=list(np.unique(np.array(list_of_dicts)))

让它在Python 3中工作。X(以及numpy的最新版本)，您需要将字典数组转换为numpy字符串数组，例如。

list_of_unique_dicts=list(np.unique(np.array(list_of_dicts).astype(str)))
