Builtin exclusive() for iterables?

set() is not an option, it only works with iterables, that contain hashable items. Currently I'm using this function:

def exclusive(arr):
        return arr.__class__({str(i):i for i in arr}.values())

Is there a builtin one? P.S. Don't suggest your functions. I only ask for a builtin one.

Your question is unclear. Your question title specifies lists only and lists are iterables, so what's wrong with using a `set`? Also sets are not limited to immutable items. Did you mean hashable? – Selcuk Sep 20 '21 at 05:51
And have you considered `frozenset`? – BoarGules Sep 20 '21 at 07:54
