使用set:

a = [0,1,2,3,4,3,3,4]
a = list(set(a))
print a

使用unique:

import numpy as np
a = [0,1,2,3,4,3,3,4]
a = np.unique(a).tolist()
print a

到目前为止，我看到的所有保持顺序的方法要么使用朴素比较(时间复杂度最多为O(n^2))，要么使用限制于可哈希输入的重载OrderedDicts/set+list组合。下面是一个与哈希无关的O(nlogn)解决方案:

更新增加了关键参数、文档和Python 3兼容性。

# from functools import reduce <-- add this import on Python 3

def uniq(iterable, key=lambda x: x):
    """
    Remove duplicates from an iterable. Preserves order. 
    :type iterable: Iterable[Ord => A]
    :param iterable: an iterable of objects of any orderable type
    :type key: Callable[A] -> (Ord => B)
    :param key: optional argument; by default an item (A) is discarded 
    if another item (B), such that A == B, has already been encountered and taken. 
    If you provide a key, this condition changes to key(A) == key(B); the callable 
    must return orderable objects.
    """
    # Enumerate the list to restore order lately; reduce the sorted list; restore order
    def append_unique(acc, item):
        return acc if key(acc[-1][1]) == key(item[1]) else acc.append(item) or acc 
    srt_enum = sorted(enumerate(iterable), key=lambda item: key(item[1]))
    return [item[1] for item in sorted(reduce(append_unique, srt_enum, [srt_enum[0]]))] 

检查字符串'a'和'b'

clean_list = []
    for ele in raw_list:
        if 'b' in ele or 'a' in ele:
            pass
        else:
            clean_list.append(ele)

我的列表中有一个字典，所以我不能使用上面的方法。我得到了错误:

TypeError: unhashable type:

如果你关心顺序和/或某些项是不可散列的。那么你可能会发现这个很有用:

def make_unique(original_list):
    unique_list = []
    [unique_list.append(obj) for obj in original_list if obj not in unique_list]
    return unique_list

有些人可能认为带副作用的列表理解不是一个好的解决方案。这里有一个替代方案:

def make_unique(original_list):
    unique_list = []
    map(lambda x: unique_list.append(x) if (x not in unique_list) else False, original_list)
    return unique_list

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

它需要安装一个第三方模块，但包iteration_utilities包含一个unique_everseen1函数，可以删除所有重复的同时保留顺序:

>>> from iteration_utilities import unique_everseen

>>> list(unique_everseen(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'] + ['a', 'c', 'd']))
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']

如果你想避免列表添加操作的开销，你可以使用itertools。链:

>>> from itertools import chain
>>> list(unique_everseen(chain(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], ['a', 'c', 'd'])))
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']

unique_everseen也适用于列表中有不可哈希项(例如列表)的情况:

>>> from iteration_utilities import unique_everseen
>>> list(unique_everseen([['a'], ['b'], 'c', 'd'] + ['a', 'c', 'd']))
[['a'], ['b'], 'c', 'd', 'a']

然而，这将比项目是可哈希的(多)慢。
