To add to what the others have said/asked: Many times programmers want sets but they are programmed(!!) to think "Lists!" This can be because for example >>> [1,2,3] == [2,1,3] False >>> {1,2,3} == {2,1,3} True >>> [1,2,3,3] == [1,2,3] False >>> {1,2,3,3} == {1,2,3} True >>> list(set([1,2,1,3,4,4,])) [1, 2, 3, 4] [Though theres no guarantee of the order of the last (that I know) ] ie you may prefer sets to lists when order and/or repetition dont signify > > E.g ??? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
