by the way, assuming that it doesn't really matter whether the
resulting list contains lists or tuples, here's a simple oneliner-plus-
optional-import solution:
# this is only needed if you're using 2.3 or earlier
>>> from sets import Set as set
>>> hasDups = [[1, 2], [1, 2], [2, 3]]
>>> noDups = list(set(map(tuple, hasDups)))
>>> noDups
[(1, 2), (2, 3)]
if you need an order-preserving implementation, see raymond's
example over at the cookbook.
