To check if two strings are anagrams of each other using dictionaries: Note : Even Number, special characters can be used as an input

def anagram(s):
    string_list = []
    for ch in s.lower():
        string_list.append(ch)

    string_dict = {}
    for ch in string_list:
        if ch not in string_dict:
            string_dict[ch] = 1
        else:
            string_dict[ch] = string_dict[ch] + 1

    return string_dict



s1 = "master"
s2 = "stream"

a = anagram(s1)
b = anagram(s2)

if a == b:
    print "Anagram"
else:
    print "Not Anagram"
