Answer 1

Is this what you want? (Sample output would have been helpful :)

f = [-0.234, -0.04325, -0.43134, -0.315, -0.6322, -0.245, 
     -0.5325, -0.6341, -0.5214, -0.531, -0.124, -0.0252]

import numpy as np
data = np.array(f)
hist, edges = np.histogram(data, bins=10)
print hist

yields:

 [2 3 0 1 0 1 2 0 1 2]
