I like count() and appendlist() or whatever they will be named. But I have one question/idea:
Why does the methods have to be put in dict? Can't their be a subtype of dict that includes those two methods? I.e.: .histogram = counting_dict() .for ch in text: . histogram.count(ch) Then maybe some more methods can be added tailor-mode for these two types of dicts?: .for ch in string.ascii_letters: . print "Frequency of %s = %d." % (ch, histogram.freq(ch)) Or something, you get the idea. -- mvh Björn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
