Remove duplicates from list in Python

The easiest python way to remove duplicates from the list (in other words deduplicate) is to convert the list to set and then convert it back to the list.

my_list = [1, 2, 4, 6, 6, 3, 6, 5, 5, 9, 2]
print(f"List with duplicates: {my_list}")

dedup_list = list(set(my_list))
print(f"List without duplicates: {dedup_list}")

Output:

List with duplicates: [1, 2, 4, 6, 6, 3, 6, 5, 5, 9, 2]
List without duplicates: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9]

The drawback for some use cases ⁠– this way doesn't preserve element order. If you need to keep order, then see below.

dedup_list = []
for i in my_list:
  if i not in dedup_list:
    dedup_list.append(i)
