Raymond Hettinger added the comment:
The introductory example already shows both ways of using a Counter:
1) How to tally one at a time:
cnt = Counter()
for word in ['red', 'blue', 'red', 'green', 'blue', 'blue']:
cnt[word] += 1
2) How to count directly from a list:
words = re.findall(r'\w+', open('hamlet.txt').read().lower())
Counter(words).most_common(10)
