Your question is too open-ended. Do you want to keep the items in the original order? Are the items hashable? Do they support comparisons? http://code.activestate.com/recipes/52560/ If all you care is that the result is indexable, then list(set(items)) will do what you want -- but beware, sets can only contain hashable items, so if your original data contains dicts, lists or other unhashable objects, you can't add them to a set. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
