I want to create a set from the values of an existing dict
def function(dictionary):
...
return set_of_values
Say my dictionary looks like this: {'1': 'Monday', '2': 'Tuesday', '3': 'Monday'}
I want a set returned that only contains the unique values, like this:
{'Monday', 'Tuesday'}

For Python:
set(d.values())
Equivalent on Python 2.7:
set(d.viewvalues())
If you need a cross-compatible Python 2.7/3.x code:
{d[k] for k in d}
Just another way to unique out:
>>> my_dict = {'1': 'Monday', '3': 'Monday', '2': 'Tuesday'}
>>> {y:x for x,y in my_dict.iteritems()}.keys()
['Tuesday', 'Monday']
