不使用导入模块或集的解决方案:

text = "ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country"
sentence = text.split(" ")
noduplicates = [(sentence[i]) for i in range (0,len(sentence)) if sentence[i] not in sentence[:i]]
print(noduplicates)

给输出:

['ask', 'not', 'what', 'your', 'country', 'can', 'do', 'for', 'you']

5倍更快减少变种，但更复杂

>>> l = [5, 6, 6, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4]
>>> reduce(lambda r, v: v in r[1] and r or (r[0].append(v) or r[1].add(v)) or r, l, ([], set()))[0]
[5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4]

解释:

default = (list(), set())
# use list to keep order
# use set to make lookup faster

def reducer(result, item):
    if item not in result[1]:
        result[0].append(item)
        result[1].add(item)
    return result

>>> reduce(reducer, l, default)[0]
[5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4]

使用_sorted_ a numpy数组的相对有效方法:

b = np.array([1,3,3, 8, 12, 12,12])    
numpy.hstack([b[0], [x[0] for x in zip(b[1:], b[:-1]) if x[0]!=x[1]]])

输出:

array([ 1,  3,  8, 12])

消除序列中的重复值，但保留其余项的顺序。使用通用发电机功能。

# for hashable sequence
def remove_duplicates(items):
    seen = set()
    for item in items:
        if item not in seen:
            yield item
            seen.add(item)

a = [1, 5, 2, 1, 9, 1, 5, 10]
list(remove_duplicates(a))
# [1, 5, 2, 9, 10]



# for unhashable sequence
def remove_duplicates(items, key=None):
    seen = set()
    for item in items:
        val = item if key is None else key(item)
        if val not in seen:
            yield item
            seen.add(val)

a = [ {'x': 1, 'y': 2}, {'x': 1, 'y': 3}, {'x': 1, 'y': 2}, {'x': 2, 'y': 4}]
list(remove_duplicates(a, key=lambda d: (d['x'],d['y'])))
# [{'x': 1, 'y': 2}, {'x': 1, 'y': 3}, {'x': 2, 'y': 4}]

from itertools import groupby
[ key for key,_ in groupby(sortedList)]

这个列表甚至不需要排序，充分条件是相等的值被分组在一起。

编辑:我假设“保持顺序”意味着列表实际上是有序的。如果不是这样，那么MizardX的解决方案是正确的。

社区编辑:然而，这是“将重复的连续元素压缩为单个元素”的最优雅的方法。

sequence = ['1', '2', '3', '3', '6', '4', '5', '6']
unique = []
[unique.append(item) for item in sequence if item not in unique]

unique→[1、(2)、(3)、(6)、(4)、(5)]
