New submission from Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com>: The 3rd example of defaultdict [1] shows how to use it to count the letters of a string, but the new Counter class is a better tool for doing that.
Possible solutions: 1) "Setting the default_factory to int makes the defaultdict useful for counting (like a bag or multiset in other languages):" -> "Setting the default_factory to int makes the defaultdict useful for basic counting (see also the Counter class for more features):"; 2) remove the example.
