Str.count (a)是计算字符串中单个字符的最佳解决方案。但是如果你需要统计更多的字符，你就必须读取整个字符串的次数，就像你想要统计的字符一样多。

更好的方法是:

from collections import defaultdict

text = 'Mary had a little lamb'
chars = defaultdict(int)

for char in text:
    chars[char] += 1

因此，您将有一个dict，它返回字符串中每个字母出现的次数，如果不存在则返回0。

>>>chars['a']
4
>>>chars['x']
0

对于一个不区分大小写的计数器，你可以通过继承defaultdict来覆盖mutator和accessor方法(基类的方法是只读的):

class CICounter(defaultdict):
    def __getitem__(self, k):
        return super().__getitem__(k.lower())

    def __setitem__(self, k, v):
        super().__setitem__(k.lower(), v)


chars = CICounter(int)

for char in text:
    chars[char] += 1

>>>chars['a']
4
>>>chars['M']
2
>>>chars['x']
0

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))

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

myString.count('a');

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}

我是pandas库的粉丝，尤其是value_counts()方法。你可以用它来计算字符串中每个字符的出现次数:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> phrase = "I love the pandas library and its `value_counts()` method"
>>> pd.Series(list(phrase)).value_counts()
     8
a    5
e    4
t    4
o    3
n    3
s    3
d    3
l    3
u    2
i    2
r    2
v    2
`    2
h    2
p    1
b    1
I    1
m    1
(    1
y    1
_    1
)    1
c    1
