...and it's also the only way to do something like:
>>> def zero():
... return 0
...
>>> d = defaultdict(zero)
>>> s = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'two', 'two', 'one']
>>> for x in s:
... d[x] += 1
...
>>> d
defaultdict(<function zero at 0x00BA01E0>, {'four': 1, 'three': 1, 'two':
3, 'one': 2
})
>>>
