Return only unique values from a Python iterable. #python

	def unique(s):
	"""Return a list of the elements in s, but without duplicates.

	For example, unique([1,2,3,1,2,3]) is some permutation of [1,2,3],
	unique("abcabc") some permutation of ["a", "b", "c"], and
	unique(([1, 2], [2, 3], [1, 2])) some permutation of
	[[2, 3], [1, 2]].

	For best speed, all sequence elements should be hashable. Then
	unique() will usually work in linear time.
