I'm trying to write a program that counts the 5 most common words in a txt file. Here is what I have so far: file = open('alice.txt') wordcount = {} for word in file.read().split(): if word not in wordcount: wordcount[word] = 1 else: wordcount[word] += 1 for k, v in wordcount.items(): print (k, v) The program as it is counts every word in the .txt file. My question is how to make it so it only counts the 5 most common words in the file so that it displays the words and the word count next to each word. One catch - I can't use dictionary...whatever that means. Easy, you just need to find the 5

For this project, I am scraping data from a database and attempting to export this data to a spreadsheet for further analysis. (Previously posted here --thanks for the help over there reworking my code!) I previously thought that finding the winning candidate in the table could be simplified by just always selecting the first name that appears in the table, as I thought the "winners" always appeared first. However, this is not the case. Whether or not a candidate was elected is stored in the form of a picture in the first column. How would I scrape this and store it in a spreadsheet? It's

I'm fairly new to Python, and I'm trying to write some huge lists (with random letters inside). Actually it takes me around 75 - 80 seconds on my machine for 2,000,000 lines. import timeit import random, string global_tab = [] global_nb_loop = 2000000 print("Generate %d lines" % global_nb_loop) global_tab = [] for x in range(global_nb_loop): global_tab.append(("".join( [random.choice(string.ascii_letters) for i in range(15)] ), "".join( [random.choice(string.digits) for i in range(2)]))) print("%d lines generated" % len(global_tab)) And the result with linux time command: $ time python3 DEV

Consider the following example: import asyncio import tkinter as tk class App(tk.Tk): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.create_widgets() self._configure_bindings() # I believe it is not possible # to do this if the method needs # to be async as well def create_widgets(self): pass def _configure_bindings(self): self.bind('<F5>', self.spam) # what's the proper way? # does this method need to be async as well? async def spam(self, event): await self.do_something() async def do_something(): pass async def run_tk(root): try: while True: root.update() await asyncio.sleep(.01) except tk

I just now downloaded Python 3.5.2 onto my Debian machine and built it with: ./configure make make test sudo make install Everything worked, but in the make test output, it showed the installer as having skipped certain tests due to the modules _tkinter and _ssl not being installed. Furthermore, the lack of SSL makes me unable to use pip. This also happened on my build of 3.5.1, but I assumed that it was just an early, buggy version. How can I fix this? I especially need SSL in order to send emails. PADYMKO Since Python (properly name is CPython, because exists also Cython, Jython, PyPy and so
