python生成字典记录单词数目_从文本文件创建Python字典并检索每个单词的计数

这听起来像是collections.Counter的工作：import collections

with open('gettysburg.txt') as f:

c = collections.Counter(f.read().split())

print "'Four' appears %d times"%c['Four']

print "'the' appears %d times"%c['the']

print "There are %d total words"%sum(c.values())

print "The 5 most common words are", c.most_common(5)

结果：$ python foo.py

'Four' appears 1 times

'the' appears 9 times

There are 267 total words

The 5 most common words are [('that', 10), ('the', 9), ('to', 8), ('we', 8), ('a', 7)]

当然，这将“自由”和“这个”算作单词(注意单词中的标点符号)。此外，它还将“The”和“The”视为不同的单词。此外，处理整个文件可能会丢失非常大的文件。

这是一个忽略标点和大小写的版本，在大文件上更节省内存。import collections

import re

with open('gettysburg.txt')
