I am working with a list of data from which I have to weed out duplicates. At the moment I keep for each entry a container with the other entries that are still possible duplicates.
The problem is sometimes that is all the rest. I thought to use a range object for these cases. Unfortunatly I sometimes want to sort things and a range object is not comparable with a list or a tuple. So I have a list of items where each item is itself a list or range object. I of course could sort this by using list as a key function but that would defeat the purpose of using range objects for these cases. So what would be a relatively easy way to get the same result without wasting too much memory on entries that haven't any weeding done on them. -- Antoon Pardon. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
