[Tutor] Duplicate items in list

[Manprit Singh]

Dear sir ,

Kindly look at the solution given below :
Kindly suggest , if something can be done better:

def remove_cons(lst):
    for i in range(len(lst)-1):
        if lst[i] != lst[i+1]:
            yield lst[i]
    yield lst[-1]

lst1 = [3, 3, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 5, 9, 3, 3, 3, 5, 5, 5]
print(*remove_cons(lst1))

The answer will be :

3 5 6 5 9 3 5

Regards
