Hi,

I have a list of tuples:

[(2,),(12,13),(2,3,4),(8,),(5,6),(7,8,9),]

I would like to compare all the tuples to each other and if one
element if found two tuples the smallest tuples is removed from the
list.

example if tuple 1 and tuple 3 are compare it should find that a
single element in each are the same and tuple 1 should be removed
resulting in

[(12,13),(2,3,4),(8,),(5,6),(7,8,9),]

the same for tuple 4 and 6 resulting in

[(12,13),(2,3,4),(5,6),(7,8,9),]

is this possible as I am having no success.

Thanks
