对列表的一个副本排序并找到运行时间最长的。您可以在用每个元素的索引对列表排序之前对其进行修饰，然后在并列的情况下选择从最低索引开始的运行。

你可能不再需要这个了，但这是我对一个类似问题所做的。(因为评论，它看起来比实际要长。)

itemList = ['hi', 'hi', 'hello', 'bye']

counter = {}
maxItemCount = 0
for item in itemList:
    try:
        # Referencing this will cause a KeyError exception
        # if it doesn't already exist
        counter[item]
        # ... meaning if we get this far it didn't happen so
        # we'll increment
        counter[item] += 1
    except KeyError:
        # If we got a KeyError we need to create the
        # dictionary key
        counter[item] = 1

    # Keep overwriting maxItemCount with the latest number,
    # if it's higher than the existing itemCount
    if counter[item] > maxItemCount:
        maxItemCount = counter[item]
        mostPopularItem = item

print mostPopularItem

一行程序:

def most_common (lst):
    return max(((item, lst.count(item)) for item in set(lst)), key=lambda a: a[1])[0]

在这里:

def most_common(l):
    max = 0
    maxitem = None
    for x in set(l):
        count =  l.count(x)
        if count > max:
            max = count
            maxitem = x
    return maxitem

我有一种模糊的感觉，在标准库的某个地方有一个方法可以给你每个元素的计数，但我找不到它。

def mostCommonElement(list):
  count = {} // dict holder
  max = 0 // keep track of the count by key
  result = None // holder when count is greater than max
  for i in list:
    if i not in count:
      count[i] = 1
    else:
      count[i] += 1
    if count[i] > max:
      max = count[i]
      result = i
  return result

主要组合(“a”、“b”、“a”、“c”)->“a”

我这样做使用scipy统计模块和lambda:

import scipy.stats
lst = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,5]
most_freq_val = lambda x: scipy.stats.mode(x)[0][0]
print(most_freq_val(lst))

结果:

 most_freq_val = 5
