How to remove all duplicate items from a list [duplicate]

Answer 1

The modern way to do it that maintains the order is:

>>> from collections import OrderedDict
>>> list(OrderedDict.fromkeys(lseparatedOrbList))

as discussed by Raymond Hettinger (python core dev) in this answer. In python 3.5 and above this is also the fastest way - see the linked answer for details. However the keys must be hashable (as is the case in your list I think)
