下面是使用itertools的另一个简洁的替代方案。Groupby也适用于无序输入:

from itertools import groupby

items = [5, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 3, 5]

results = {value: len(list(freq)) for value, freq in groupby(sorted(items))}

结果

format: {value: num_of_occurencies}

{1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 2, 4: 1, 5: 2}

a = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5]
counts = dict.fromkeys(a, 0)
for el in a: counts[el] += 1
print(counts)
# {1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 2, 4: 1, 5: 2}

对于一个无序列表，你应该使用:

[a.count(el) for el in set(a)]

输出为

[4, 4, 2, 1, 2]

假设我们有一个列表:

fruits = ['banana', 'banana', 'apple', 'banana']

我们可以在列表中找出每种水果的数量，像这样:

import numpy as np    
(unique, counts) = np.unique(fruits, return_counts=True)
{x:y for x,y in zip(unique, counts)}

结果:

{'banana': 3, 'apple': 1}

Python 2.7+引入了字典理解。从列表中构建字典将获得计数并去除重复项。

>>> a = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5]
>>> d = {x:a.count(x) for x in a}
>>> d
{1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 2, 4: 1, 5: 2}
>>> a, b = d.keys(), d.values()
>>> a
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> b
[4, 4, 2, 1, 2]

我找到了另一种方法，使用集合。

#ar is the list of elements
#convert ar to set to get unique elements
sock_set = set(ar)

#create dictionary of frequency of socks
sock_dict = {}

for sock in sock_set:
    sock_dict[sock] = ar.count(sock)
