The Assignment:
I'm trying to write Python code to read through a data file and figure out
the distribution by hour of the dat for each message in the data file.
Python can pull the hour from the 'From ' line by finding the time and then
splitting the string a second time using a colon, i.e., From
stephen.marqu...@uct.ac.za Sat Jan 5 09:14:16 2008
Finally, accumulated the counts for each hour, print out the counts, sorted
by hour as shown below:
name = raw_input("Enter file:")
if len(name) < 1 : name = "mbox-short.txt"
handle = open(name)
Desired Output:
04 3
06 1
07 1
09 2
10 3
11 6
14 1
15 2
16 4
17 2
18 1
19 1
