From a List Produce a List of Duplicate Entries

Taking a list:
["andrew", "bob", "chris", "bob"]

Write the code to produce a list of duplicates in the list:
["bob"]
DiskEdit
python 2.4
import itertools
input = ["andrew", "bob", "chris", "bob"]
input.sort()
output = [k for k, g in itertools.groupby(input, lambda x: x) if len(list(g)) > 1]

fsharp
["andrew"; "bob"; "chris"; "bob"]
|> Seq.countBy id
|> Seq.filter (fun (k,n) -> n > 1)
|> Seq.map fst
|> Seq.toList
