You may even avoid allocating nested containers altogether:

Alas, it's not:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'dom'
Here's a working version, optimized for char length (one line, 241
chars):
import urllib as U,elementtree.ElementTree as
E;c=[E.parse(U.urlopen('http://api.etsy.com/feeds/xml_user_details.php?
id=%d'%u)).findtext('//city')for u in
71234,729,42346,77290,729,729];print'\n'.join('%s: %s'%
(i,c.count(i))for i in set(c))

Never occured to you that the
goofiness of the name "Google" is at least an order of magnitude
greater than Python. And FYI, Google didn't start out with the
popularity it enjoys today, it gained it *despite* the silly name.
Thanks God it was created by geeks and not clueless PHBs like

I'm looking forward to Spider(TM), the first bug-free language ;-)

ain specific toy language,
which might well turn out to be less expressive than necessary for the
given problem domain. I guess Lisp/Scheme would be even more suited
for this task but then again there's a Web framework (TurboGears), an
ORM (SqlAlchemy) an RPC middleware (Pyro) and a dozen more batteries,
both standard and 3rd party. Can't think of anything better than
Python for this project.

If you bothered to click on that link you would learn that memoization
can be used to save space too and matches OP's case exactly; even the
identity tests work. Self-importance is bad enough by itself, even
without the ignorance, but you seem to do great in both.

osts.
To the OP: yes, your use case is quite valid; the keyword you are
looking for is "memoize". You can find around a dozen of recipes in
the Cookbook and posted in this list; here's one starting point:

either of these is true for Python. I
certainly wouldn't consider better a solution that required declaring
local variables (e.g. "local x = 0").
