finesse.script.util.duplicates(items, key=None)

Get duplicate keys and values in the 1D sequence items.

Parameters

items : sequence

>>> [k for k, _ in duplicates("AAAABBCDAAB")]
["A", "B", "C", "D"]

>>> [list(g) for _, g in duplicates("AAAABBCDAAB")]
[["A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A"], ["B", "B", "B"], ["C"], ["D"]]
