[Tutor] Best Known Method for Filtering redundant list items.

[Chris Hengge]

Anyone point me to something more efficient then

for item in list1:
     if item not in list2:
           list2.append()

This just seems to take a bit a time when there are thousands or dozens of
thousands of records just to filter out the dozen or so copies..

Thanks.
