Hello,
: Sorry, it seems like I was not clear enough in that statement. I
: should have written something like "counting how many times each
: word occured" insted of "counting words".
You might like to try out collections.defaultdict().
import collections
summary = collections.defaultdict(int)
for line in lines:
words = line.strip().split()
for word in words:
summary[word] += 1
Lots of interesting features in the collections module...
