Remove duplicates from a list of dictionaries when only one of the key values is different

Question

I have seen some similar answers, but I can\'t find something specific for this case:

I have a list of dictionaries like this:

[
 {\"element\":Bla, \         


        

Answer 1

Pandas can solve this quickly:

import pandas as pd
Bla = "Bla"
d = [
{"element":Bla, "version":2, "date":"12/04/12"},
{"element":Bla, "version":2, "date":"12/05/12"},
{"element":Bla, "version":3, "date":"12/04/12"}
]
df = pd.DataFrame(d)
df[~df.drop("date", axis=1).duplicated()]

output:

       date element  version
0  12/04/12     Bla        2
2  12/04/12     Bla        3
