seta = set(a)
b = [a.count(el) for el in seta]
a = list(seta) #Only if you really want it.

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}

seta = set(a)
b = [a.count(el) for el in seta]
a = list(seta) #Only if you really want it.

计算元素的频率可能最好使用字典:

b = {}
for item in a:
    b[item] = b.get(item, 0) + 1

要删除重复项，请使用set:

a = list(set(a))

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}

如果列表是排序的，你可以使用itertools标准库中的groupby(如果不是，你可以先排序，尽管这需要O(nlgn)时间):

from itertools import groupby

a = [5, 1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 5, 2]
[len(list(group)) for key, group in groupby(sorted(a))]

输出:

[4, 4, 2, 1, 2]
