It occurred to me -- and I know it will sound like a heresy -- that maybe providing an overly long example in C is not the best option here. Why not page_owner.py with the following content instead (not tested):
#!/usr/bin/python
import collections
import sys
counts = collections.defaultdict(int)
txt = ''
for line in sys.stdin:
if line == '\n':
counts[txt] += 1
txt = ''
else:
txt += line
counts[txt] += 1
for txt, num in sorted(counts.items(), txt=lambda x: x[1]):
if len(txt) > 1:
print '%d times:\n%s' % num, txt
And it's so “long” only because I chose not to read the whole file at
once as in:
counts = collections.defaultdict(int)
for txt in sys.stdin.read().split('\n\n'):
counts[txt] += 1
