假设我们有一个列表:

fruits = ['banana', 'banana', 'apple', 'banana']

我们可以在列表中找出每种水果的数量，像这样:

import numpy as np    
(unique, counts) = np.unique(fruits, return_counts=True)
{x:y for x,y in zip(unique, counts)}

结果:

{'banana': 3, 'apple': 1}

#!usr/bin/python
def frq(words):
    freq = {}
    for w in words:
            if w in freq:
                    freq[w] = freq.get(w)+1
            else:
                    freq[w] =1
    return freq

fp = open("poem","r")
list = fp.read()
fp.close()
input = list.split()
print input
d = frq(input)
print "frequency of input\n: "
print d
fp1 = open("output.txt","w+")
for k,v in d.items():
fp1.write(str(k)+':'+str(v)+"\n")
fp1.close()

还有一种方法是使用字典和列表。数数，下面一种幼稚的做法。

dicio = dict()

a = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5]

b = list()

c = list()

for i in a:

   if i in dicio: continue 

   else:

      dicio[i] = a.count(i)

      b.append(a.count(i))

      c.append(i)

print (b)

print (c)

Python 2.7+引入了字典理解。从列表中构建字典将获得计数并去除重复项。

>>> a = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5]
>>> d = {x:a.count(x) for x in a}
>>> d
{1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 2, 4: 1, 5: 2}
>>> a, b = d.keys(), d.values()
>>> a
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> b
[4, 4, 2, 1, 2]

str1='the cat sat on the hat hat'
list1=str1.split();
list2=str1.split();

count=0;
m=[];

for i in range(len(list1)):
    t=list1.pop(0);
    print t
    for j in range(len(list2)):
        if(t==list2[j]):
            count=count+1;
            print count
    m.append(count)
    print m
    count=0;
#print m

a = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5]
counts = dict.fromkeys(a, 0)
for el in a: counts[el] += 1
print(counts)
# {1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 2, 4: 1, 5: 2}
