Pretty easy map={} for x,y in mylist: map[x]=y map.items() It will be in a random order aftward though. And duplicate may depend on the definition of equality, which may not do what you expect.

Is it possible to remove duplicate records from a list of tuples?

Here's a sample of my list. I'd like to make sure a url doesn't occur twice in the list, and delete the offending tuple if it does.

[('http://www.news.com/frontdoor/0-1.html?tag=hd_ts', 'CNET'), ('http://www.news.com/shopping/0-1257.html?tag=hd_ts', 'Price comparisons')]

I'm sorry if this is elementary, but I'm fairly new to Python and have been pulling my hair out on this one.

Thanks,
