Remove duplicate dict in list in Python

Question

I have a list of dicts, and I\'d like to remove the dicts with identical key and value pairs.

For this list: [{\'a\': 123}, {\'b\': 123}, {\'a\': 123}]<

Answer 1

If you want to preserve the Order, then you can do

from collections import OrderedDict
print OrderedDict((frozenset(item.items()),item) for item in data).values()
# [{'a': 123, 'b': 1234}, {'a': 3222, 'b': 1234}]

If the order doesn't matter, then you can do

print {frozenset(item.items()):item for item in data}.values()
# [{'a': 3222, 'b': 1234}, {'a': 123, 'b': 1234}]
