Why is there an AttributeError, line 12, below : 'tuple' object has no
attribute 'sort'?

Having answered that in my last email I just
noticed another problem...

count = dict()
fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ")#
handle = open (fname, 'r')#
for line in handle:
     if line.startswith("From "):
         address = line.split()[5]
         line = line.rstrip()
         count[address] = count.get(address, 0) + 1

for key,val in count.items():
     ncount = (key,val)
     ncount.sort(reverse=True)

You are trying to sort a tuple that contains
a single key,value pair. The key is an IP address
represented as a string and the value is an integer.
How do you expect those two values to sort?
Hint: Try it at the >>> prompt.

     print key,val

And having attempted to sort them you do nothing
with the result.

What are you trying to do with the sort?
