Python script to find word frequencies of a given document

Question

I am looking for a simple script that can find frequencies of words for a given document (probably by using portable stemmer).

Is there any library or simple script

Answer 1

You should be able to count words. Use a collections.Counter or a dict, depending on what you need. That part is easy, but if it isn't you can find the answer by searching on SO itself.

I think you also want the Porter Stemmer, which has a Python version at http://tartarus.org/~martin/PorterStemmer/python.txt
