This example needs to stay. It was one of the principal motiviating use cases for defaultdict and it is a good, simple, understandable example of how to use it. Also, I don't want to cross-link these two tools because they a subtly different (the default dict approach inserts a zero for missing elements while the Counter approach returns zero but does not insert it). ---------- resolution: -> rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6893> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
