Conceptually it's a set, but for efficiency reasons it shouldn't be a 
Python set. The extraneous hashing and equality testing is a waste (and the 
returned data types shouldn't be guaranteed to be hashable, e.g. p-adics. 
In fact, floats aren't really hashable either, even if hashing them doesn't 
return an error). So I'd say a list is still the appropriate data type to 
implement this with.
