There are a number of things you don't explicitly specify. But if
you require the dates in the output list to be in the same order
as the original list, you have a bug in using element [1]. You
should be using element zero, or more simply:
lastdate=None
for date in all_the_dates:
if date !=lastdate:
onedateperday.append(date)
lastdate=date
But if you specified a bit more, even simpler answers are possible.
For example, if output order doesn't matter, try:
onedateperday = list (set (all_the_dates))
If output order matters, but the desired order is sorted,
onedateperday = sorted ( list (set (all_the_dates)))
Other approaches are possible using library functions, but this
should be enough.
