Python : How to eliminate duplicate elements from a List

Duplicates elements from a List can be  removed by using list(set())

List containing duplicate elements:

name_list = ['Ram','Nidish','Ram','Veena','Krish']

Use list(set()) to remove duplicates,

name_list=list(set(name_list))

Run Environment: Python 2.7

Note: Set returns un-ordered list so list order would be lost.
