Hello, I'm a newbie to Python. I have a list which contains integers (about 80,000). I want to find a quick way to get the numbers that occur in the list more than once, and how many times that number is duplicated in the list. I've done this right now by looping through the list, getting a number, querying the list to find out how many times the number exists, then writing it to a new list. On this many records it takes a couple of minutes. What I am looking for is something in python that can grab this info without looping through a list.
Thanks! Paul J.
