You are right, in my original code I use set instead of array, so it should be either values = set() or values.append() in the original code.

It should also work with cases like [1, json.dumps('-1')], which is case 3), sorry if it was not clear in the initial post.

In case of 3) an element can be a string like '"1"', which will fail int(...), in this case it tries to parse it with json.
