permutations with unique values

Question

itertools.permutations generates where its elements are treated as unique based on their position, not on their value. So basically I want to avoid duplicates like this:

Answer 1

Here is a recursive solution to the problem.

def permutation(num_array):
    res=[]
    if len(num_array) <= 1:
        return [num_array]
    for num in set(num_array):
        temp_array = num_array.copy()
        temp_array.remove(num)
        res += [[num] + perm for perm in permutation(temp_array)]
    return res

arr=[1,2,2]
print(permutation(arr))
