I am looking for ways to go about capturing the frequency of unique values in one field in a dbf table which contains ~50k records. The values are numbers with atleast 5 digits to the right of the decimal, but I want the frequency of values to only 2 decimal places. I do have a method to do this courtesy of a provided tool in ArcGIS. Was just curious about ways to do it without arcgis sw, using just python.
Saw this http://code.activestate.com/recipes/277600-one-liner-frequency-count/ using itertools. I'd be curious to see how experienced pythoners' (or not too experienced!) would go about doing this. Thanks for any snippets provided, this should be interesting and educating! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
