@ScottMermelstein Please post that as an answer so I can downvote it so hard. Answering questions that show no research or respect for our time only encourages more VLQ questions. – TemporalWolf Feb 01 '18 at 20:59

@TemporalWolf When Davide submits that as an answer to their instructor, they won't get a good grade. What I put in the comment is clearly not what their instructor wanted. My answer aligns with your point. – Scott Mermelstein Feb 01 '18 at 21:00

OP has asked three questions like this and received answers each time... – TemporalWolf Feb 01 '18 at 21:02

Something like:
from collections import Counter
cnt = Counter()
with open('file.txt', 'r') as f:
for line in f:
cnt[line] += 1
for k, v in cnt.iteritems():
print v, k
0x5453

1`with open('file.txt') as infile: cnt = collections.Counter(line.strip() for line in infile)` – inspectorG4dget Feb 01 '18 at 21:00

With python3 : AttributeError: 'Counter' object has no attribute 'iteritems' – Pydavide Feb 01 '18 at 21:15

@Davide because `iteritems()` is python 2. You should change to `items()`. Also, it is helpful to add a python version tag to questions to avoid this - add the generic `python` flag and then pick one of the `2.7` or `3.x` tags. – roganjosh Feb 01 '18 at 21:31
