result = set(list1) - set(list2)
Of course the result is a set then.
Which means that if there were duplicates in list1 you only get
one copy in the result. As Tim says, whether that is good, bad
or irrelevant depends on the problem context.
Maybe that will work fine in context, maybe not.
I leave it as an exercise to figure out how to
change it back into a list (hint: try the obvious way first ;-) ).
But that won't replace any missing duplicates.
If they are significant you'll probably need to stick with Kent's
list comprehension approach.
