Notice
This PEP is withdrawn by the author. He writes:
Removing duplicate elements from a list is a common task, but

The first is if it could be done much faster, which isn't the
case. The second is if it makes it significantly easier to
write code. The introduction of sets.py eliminates this
situation since creating a sequence without duplicates is just
a matter of choosing a different data structure: a set instead
of a list.

library for Python 2.3.
