Hint: a set will contain only one of each item. So if you have a
 list of immutable items, the following will eliminate
 duplicates:

newlist = list (set (oldlist))

Sometimes a dict is better,  if only part of each item is to be
 made unique.

This assumes that order doesn't matter.  If it does, perhaps an
 ordered dict.
