Python 3中非常简单的方法:

>>> n = [1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 1]
>>> n
[1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 1]
>>> m = sorted(list(set(n)))
>>> m
[1, 2, 3, 4]

Python的魔力内置类型

在python中，仅通过python的内置类型就可以很容易地处理这样复杂的情况。

让我告诉你怎么做!

方法一:一般情况

方法(1行代码)删除重复的元素在列表中仍然保持排序顺序

line = [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8]
new_line = sorted(set(line), key=line.index) # remove duplicated element
print(new_line)

你会得到结果的

[1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8]

方法二:特殊情况

TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

处理不可哈希的特殊情况(3行代码)

line=[['16.4966155686595', '-27.59776154691', '52.3786295521147']
,['16.4966155686595', '-27.59776154691', '52.3786295521147']
,['17.6508629295574', '-27.143305738671', '47.534955022564']
,['17.6508629295574', '-27.143305738671', '47.534955022564']
,['18.8051102904552', '-26.688849930432', '42.6912804930134']
,['18.8051102904552', '-26.688849930432', '42.6912804930134']
,['19.5504702331098', '-26.205884452727', '37.7709192714727']
,['19.5504702331098', '-26.205884452727', '37.7709192714727']
,['20.2929416861422', '-25.722717575124', '32.8500163147157']
,['20.2929416861422', '-25.722717575124', '32.8500163147157']]

tuple_line = [tuple(pt) for pt in line] # convert list of list into list of tuple
tuple_new_line = sorted(set(tuple_line),key=tuple_line.index) # remove duplicated element
new_line = [list(t) for t in tuple_new_line] # convert list of tuple into list of list

print (new_line)

你会得到这样的结果:

[
  ['16.4966155686595', '-27.59776154691', '52.3786295521147'], 
  ['17.6508629295574', '-27.143305738671', '47.534955022564'], 
  ['18.8051102904552', '-26.688849930432', '42.6912804930134'], 
  ['19.5504702331098', '-26.205884452727', '37.7709192714727'], 
  ['20.2929416861422', '-25.722717575124', '32.8500163147157']
]

因为元组是可哈希的，你可以很容易地在列表和元组之间转换数据

我没有看到非哈希值的答案，一行，nlog n，标准库，所以这是我的答案:

list(map(operator.itemgetter(0), itertools.groupby(sorted(items))))

或作为一个生成函数:

def unique(items: Iterable[T]) -> Iterable[T]:
    """For unhashable items (can't use set to unique) with a partial order"""
    yield from map(operator.itemgetter(0), itertools.groupby(sorted(items)))

这个人关心的是没有太多麻烦的订单(OrderdDict & others)。可能不是最python化的方式，也不是最短的方式，但却达到了目的:

def remove_duplicates(item_list):
    ''' Removes duplicate items from a list '''
    singles_list = []
    for element in item_list:
        if element not in singles_list:
            singles_list.append(element)
    return singles_list

尝试使用集合:

import sets
t = sets.Set(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])
t1 = sets.Set(['a', 'b', 'c'])

print t | t1
print t - t1

>>> t = [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8]
>>> t
[1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8]
>>> s = []
>>> for i in t:
       if i not in s:
          s.append(i)
>>> s
[1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8]
