You can use the set() method to remove duplicates from a list. The set() method will take any iterable as an argument and return a set object of unique elements.


Example:


my_list = [1,2,3,4,3,2,1]
my_set = set(my_list)
print(my_set)
# Output: {1, 2, 3, 4}

How to use write to file function in Python?

Stephen Prastman
Answer by Stephen Prastman

The Write to File or Input/Ouput function is defined by write(), but this is a command that needs to be associated with the other functions. However, the discussion and support related to this function is extensive, therefore I recommend visiting the Python website to learn more about it.

It doesn't matter. One version has extra libraries, but if you remove it doesn't mean you will lack functionality. You can remove any of the package as it's safe to your programming environment and operating system.

Answer by Pete Clapp

It is recommended to uninstall the previous version before you install the new version. For example, if you have version 2 and you want to install version 3, uninstall the previous version. But installing a new build (2.2 over 2.3), you can simply install over the existing one.

Its a scripting language that can be used to automate programs.
The only time I've seen it in use is with a program called Blender, a free 3d modeling program.
Programmers write Python scripts that can be run within Blender to perform all sorts of various tasks.

You can have a portable version of Python to place it on a CD to run it from there. There is one already created for you and all you need to do is to copy the package on the CD and run it from that location and that's it, but remember that if you want to run a package on another path you will have to specify the path. For example:


F:\python.exe PATH_TO_FILE\example.py
