What is the cleanest way to do a sort plus uniq on a Python list?
- by knorv
Consider a Python list my_list containing ['foo', 'foo', 'bar'].
What is the most Pythonic way to uniqify:ing and sorting and the list (think cat my_list | sort | uniq)?
This is how I currently do it and while it works I'm sure there are better ways to do it.
my_list = []
...
my_list.append("foo")
my_list.append("foo")
my_list.append("bar")
...
my_list = set(my_list)
my_list = list(my_list)
my_list.sort()
