Python: Mutable tuple?

Hey Sololearn! So, we got this 2 datatypes: List and Tuple. A list is mutable, a tuple isn't. But every item in a tuple is unique. Is there a datatype, that is mutable, but their items have to be unique (like in a tuple)? Or do I have to go the long way and sort those items out of list the list by myself? Thanks in advance!

yes, set is mutable and will only retain unique values

b={1,2,4,5,4,3,6,7,7,8} print(b) output--> {1,2,4,5,3,6,7,8}
