我们可以使用itertools。Groupby，以便找到所有有dup的项:

from itertools import groupby

myList  = [2, 4, 6, 8, 4, 6, 12]
# when the list is sorted, groupby groups by consecutive elements which are similar
for x, y in groupby(sorted(myList)):
    #  list(y) returns all the occurences of item x
    if len(list(y)) > 1:
        print x  

输出将是:

4
6

为了好玩，只需要一行语句。

(lambda iterable: reduce(lambda (uniq, dup), item: (uniq, dup | {item}) if item in uniq else (uniq | {item}, dup), iterable, (set(), set())))(some_iterable)

另一种解决方案如下所示，不使用任何集合库。

a = [1,2,3,5,4,6,4,21,4,6,3,32,5,2,23,5]
duplicates = []

for i in a:
    if a.count(i) > 1 and i not in duplicates:
        duplicates.append(i)

print(duplicates)

输出是[2,3,5,4,6]

使用熊猫:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> a = [1, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3, 0]
>>> pd.Series(a)[pd.Series(a).duplicated()].values
array([1, 3, 3])

我注意到大多数解决方案的复杂度为O(n * n)，对于大型列表来说非常缓慢。所以我想分享一下我写的函数，它支持整数或字符串，在最好的情况下是O(n)。对于一个包含10万个元素的列表，最上面的解决方案需要超过30秒，而我的解决方案只需0.12秒

def get_duplicates(list1):
    '''Return all duplicates given a list. O(n) complexity for best case scenario.
    input: [1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4]
    output: [1, 1, 4]
    '''
    dic = {}
    for el in list1:
        try:
            dic[el] += 1
        except:
            dic[el] = 1
    dupes = []
    for key in dic.keys():
        for i in range(dic[key] - 1):
            dupes.append(key)
    return dupes


list1 = [1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4]
> print(get_duplicates(list1))
[1, 1, 4]

或者获得唯一的副本:

> print(list(set(get_duplicates(list1))))
[1, 4]

试试这个检查副本

>>> def checkDuplicate(List):
    duplicate={}
    for i in List:
            ## checking whether the item is already present in dictionary or not
            ## increasing count if present
            ## initializing count to 1 if not present

        duplicate[i]=duplicate.get(i,0)+1

    return [k for k,v in duplicate.items() if v>1]

>>> checkDuplicate([1,2,3,"s",1,2,3])
[1, 2, 3]
