That doesn't sound like a valid assumption?

Something like this should work, although it will shuffle the data:

import numpy as np

x = np.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[1,3,4],[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9],[1,2,3],[5,6,7],[1,3,4]])

N = len(x)
for i in xrange(N):
    if i < len(x):
        x = np.vstack((x[i],
		       x[~np.all(x[i] == x,axis=1)]))
    else:
	break

print x
