Str.count (sub[， start[， end]]) 返回子字符串sub在范围[start, end]中不重叠出现的次数。可选参数start和end被解释为片表示法。

>>> sentence = 'Mary had a little lamb'
>>> sentence.count('a')

这个简单直接的函数可能会有帮助:

def check_freq(x):
    freq = {}
    for c in set(x):
       freq[c] = x.count(c)
    return freq

check_freq("abbabcbdbabdbdbabababcbcbab")
{'a': 7, 'b': 14, 'c': 3, 'd': 3}

如果需要理解:

def check_freq(x):
    return {c: x.count(c) for c in set(x)}

myString.count('a');

正则表达式?

import re
my_string = "Mary had a little lamb"
len(re.findall("a", my_string))

“不使用计数查找字符串中需要的字符”方法。

import re

def count(s, ch):

   pass

def main():

   s = raw_input ("Enter strings what you like, for example, 'welcome': ")  

   ch = raw_input ("Enter you want count characters, but best result to find one character: " )

   print ( len (re.findall ( ch, s ) ) )

main()

spam = 'have a nice day'
var = 'd'


def count(spam, var):
    found = 0
    for key in spam:
        if key == var:
            found += 1
    return found
count(spam, var)
print 'count %s is: %s ' %(var, count(spam, var))
