正则表达式非常有用，如果你想要区分大小写(当然还有regex的所有功能)。

my_string = "Mary had a little lamb"
# simplest solution, using count, is case-sensitive
my_string.count("m")   # yields 1
import re
# case-sensitive with regex
len(re.findall("m", my_string))
# three ways to get case insensitivity - all yield 2
len(re.findall("(?i)m", my_string))
len(re.findall("m|M", my_string))
len(re.findall(re.compile("m",re.IGNORECASE), my_string))

请注意，regex版本的运行时间大约是它的十倍，只有当my_string非常长或代码处于深度循环中时，这才可能成为问题。

要获得所有字母的计数，请使用集合。计数器:

>>> from collections import Counter
>>> counter = Counter("Mary had a little lamb")
>>> counter['a']
4

不超过这个IMHO -你可以添加上或下的方法

def count_letter_in_str(string,letter):
    return string.count(letter)

这是公认答案的延伸，你应该在文本中寻找所有字符的计数。

# Objective: we will only count for non-empty characters

text = "count a character occurrence"
unique_letters = set(text)
result = dict((x, text.count(x)) for x in unique_letters if x.strip())

print(result)
# {'a': 3, 'c': 6, 'e': 3, 'u': 2, 'n': 2, 't': 2, 'r': 3, 'h': 1, 'o': 2}

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)}

不使用Counter()， count和regex获得所有字符计数的另一种方法

counts_dict = {}
for c in list(sentence):
  if c not in counts_dict:
    counts_dict[c] = 0
  counts_dict[c] += 1

for key, value in counts_dict.items():
    print(key, value)
