I have a code snippet that I have used to count the duplicates in a list as
such:
from sets import Set
def countDups(duplicateList):
uniqueSet = Set(item for item in duplicateList)
return[(item, duplicateList.count(item)) for item in uniqueSet]
lst = ['word', 'word', 'new', 'new', 'new']
print countDups(lst)
The result is: [('new', 3), ('word', 2)], which is what is expected. This
was using python version 2.7. I want to do the same thing in Python 3.1,
but I'm not sure what has replaced Set in the newer version, can someone
give me an idea here?
