num=[3,2,3,5,5,3,7,6,4,6,7,2]
print ('\nelements are:\t',num)
count_dict={}
for elements in num:
    count_dict[elements]=num.count(elements)
print ('\nfrequency:\t',count_dict)

对于您的第一个问题，迭代列表并使用字典跟踪元素的存在。

对于你的第二个问题，只需使用集合操作符。

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}

def frequencyDistribution(data):
    return {i: data.count(i) for i in data}   

print frequencyDistribution([1,2,3,4])

...

 {1: 1, 2: 1, 3: 1, 4: 1}   # originalNumber: count

还有另一种不使用集合的算法解决方案:

def countFreq(A):
   n=len(A)
   count=[0]*n                     # Create a new list initialized with '0'
   for i in range(n):
      count[A[i]]+= 1              # increase occurrence for value A[i]
   return [x for x in count if x]  # return non-zero count

通过遍历列表并计算它们，手动计算出现的数量，使用collections.defaultdict跟踪到目前为止看到的内容:

from collections import defaultdict

appearances = defaultdict(int)

for curr in a:
    appearances[curr] += 1
