I've been looking for a way to create a shapefile from a python list (in the case below, uniqueList).
Basically, I have been using SearchCursor's to iterate through a shapefile, and I would like to export the result as a shapefile...I tried CopyFeatures...but it didn't even return a blank file (it returned nothing).

Code:
import arcpy
def find_overlaps(input_features, output_features):
uniqueList = []
for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(input_features, ('OBJECTID', 'SHAPE@', 'name')):
foundMatch = False
for row2 in uniqueList:
if row[1].equals(row2[1]):
foundMatch = True
break
if foundMatch == False
uniqueList.append(row)
return uniqueList
## no work ##
arcpy.management.CopyFeatures(uniqueList, output_features)
