the following in gmane.comp.python.general:


> tm =open('ask.txt', 'r')
> dict = {}
> for line in tm:
> 	line = line.strip()
> 	line = line.translate(None, '!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~')
> 	line = line.lower()
> 	list = line.split(' ')

	You could (though it gets a bit long) combine some of the above...

	list = line.strip().translate(
				None,
				"the punctuation set"
				).lower().split()

	# taking advantage that open ()/[]/{} automatically continue on next
lines

> for word in list:	

	INDENTATION!  As coded, you first do the strip/translate/lower/split
on EACH line of the file... THEN you are processing the words in the
LAST line processed in the previous loop.

> 		if word in dict:
> 			count = dict[word]
> 			count += 1
> 			dict[word] = count
> else:
> 	dict[word] = 1

	More indentation -- I suspect your want the else: and following line
to be indented the same as the if line...

	Though the whole block can be simplified to

		dict[word] = dict.get(word, 0) + 1

> for word, count in dict.iteritems():
> 	print word + ":" + str(count)
