filtering multiple lists in 1 go using filter()

[radiant owl]

how should i go about doing this? trying to make it as simple as possible.

[radiant owl]

i would just do something like this, but idk how to remove duplicates : ```py
posts = [{...}, {...}, {...}]
filtered_posts = []

filtered_posts.extend(list(filter(lambda x: x['test'] == True, posts)))
filtered_posts.extend(list(filter(lambda x: x['test1'] == True, posts)))
filtered_posts.extend(list(filter(lambda x: x['test2'] == True, posts)))```

[radiant owl]

this gives me an error : ```py
posts = res['data']['children'][1: 24]
filtered_posts = []

    filtered_posts.extend(list(filter(check_nsfw, posts)))
    filtered_posts.extend(list(filter(check_videos, posts)))
    filtered_posts.extend(list(filter(check_gallerys, posts)))
      
    filtered = list(set(filtered_posts))

``` TypeError: unhashable type: 'dict' i really dont wanto have to iterate through everything, is there anything else i can do?

i fixed that but it still dosent work, my filteres are not working properly for some reason

Why not use a for loop?

for tests in ["test1", "test2"]:
    filtered_posts.extend(list(filter(lambda x: x[tests] == True, posts)))

I think a for loop would be cleaner way to do this, and that way you can check the duplicates, other way is to use a set.

[radiant owl]

what is tests? is it the function to filter with or what

because my functions are not as simple as what i have sent so i cannot do what you sent

[rain girder]

It's the varible i used for the for loop?

for tests in [your tests]

[radiant owl]

i know

but either way i still have an issue removing the duplicates

since the list with duplicates is a list of dicts

so i cant use list(set([{...}, {...}]))

[rain girder]

You want to get rid of duplicates in a dictionary?

Or...?

[rain girder]

Because iirc you can't have two same keys in a dict

[radiant owl]

no

the list after all filtering should contain duplicates of some dicts

i need to remove those

[rain girder]

Can you give an example on what you are trying to do

[radiant owl]

filter a list 3 times, using 3 diff functions
