Remove adjacent duplicate elements from a list [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can use list comprehension. For example something like this should do the job:

def remove_adjacent(L):
  return [elem for i, elem in enumerate(L) if i == 0 or L[i-1] != elem]

or:

def remove_adjacent(L):
  return [L[i] for i in xrange(len(L)) if i == 0 or L[i-1] != L[i]]
