Code question

[craigesmith]

Hello,

Is there a better way to write this piece of code? I'm looking for unique entries to append into a list.

1 2 3 4

l =[]    if mgr.get_obj_id(i).split('.')[:-1] not in l:         l.append(mgr.get_obj_id(i).split('.')[:-1])

Thanks in advance.

Does it need to be a list? When I hear "unique", I think "put it in a set".

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

s = set()   # in your loop s.add(mgr.get_obj_id(i).split('.')[:-1])   # all unique elements print(s)
