Michael,

This topic was discussed very recently, and a number of good posts would
have been archived, so I suggest going and searching Deja, in the
meantime here is my version, which I thought was as short as possible,
but which was later bested.

def Unique(theList):
    uniqueList = []
    for value in theList:
        if value in uniqueList:
            continue
        uniqueList.append(value)
    return uniqueList
