I was googling for an example of the classic word frequency program in Python as I'm just learning the language, and wanted to see how other people implemented it.
I found this blog post http://digitalhistory.uwo.ca/dhh/index.php/2006/08/20/easy-pieces-in-python-word-frequencies/ (with a much more concise version than I managed) but I can't seem to find any mention in various Python documentation of the following construct wordfreq = [wordlist.count(p) for p in wordlist] I would expect for p in wordlist: wordfreq.append(wordlist.count(p)) I didn't know you could have an expression in the same line. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
