I have a code snippet that I have used to count the duplicates in a list as

from sets import Set
Since Python 2.4, you no longer need to import module "sets" (note
plural) to get Set (note capital letter). You can just use the built-in
name "set" (note lower-case letter).
def countDups(duplicateList):
uniqueSet = Set(item for item in duplicateList)
return[(item, duplicateList.count(item)) for item in uniqueSet]
This becomes:
uniqueSet = set(item for item in duplicateList)
Another advantage is that the built-in set is much faster than sets.Set.
