@eumiro asked the right question: you could argue for an answer of 0 in his example (because there's no `ll` which isn't unambiguously separated), or 1 (because we don't allow overlaps), 2 (because we *do* allow overlaps), or even 3, though it's a stretch (because we allow you to skip internal duplicates in a group). — DSM, Jan 30 '15 at 13:34

You can use string count method:

my_str.count('ll')
