This question has been asked on *THREE* different Python mailing lists. 
  Do you really expect him to take any notice?  I certainly don't, he 
got plonked by me days ago on the tutor mailing list, I just wish 
everone else would do the same so we could get rid of him, same as Nick 
the Greek and the RUE.

*plonk* - please follow suit everybody, it's quite clear that he has no 
interest in bothering with any of the data we've all provided.

With that, you have worn out your welcome here. Please don't post here
again until you can refrain from puerile demeaning insults.

I'm guessing that you have a line of input like:

word word word timestamp word word word word

and that timestamp looks something like:

hh:mm:ss

Start of by defining a list with 24 elements all integer 0.

Open the file.

for each line, first you trim it, then you split it on spaces, you take 
the relevant element of the list of bits as the timestamp, and then you 
split that on the ':' character, then you take the int value of the hours 
element of that list and use that as the index into your list to update 
the count.

Processing a file takes very few lines of actual code. There is no need 
to use a dictionary, you can do it with a single list and no sorting. 
This is a solution in 8 lines, and assumes that the actual requirement is 
to count, for each hour, the number of log messages generated in that 
hour, and then display, listed by hour, the number of messages generated 
in each hour during the day. It also assumes that there is a timestamp of 
the form hh:mm:ss that always appears at the same word position X in each 
line in the file, and that the hours record always at position Y in the 
timestamp.

c = [0 for i in range(24)]
f = open(filename,'r')
for l in f:
    h = int(l.strip().split()[X].split(':')[Y])
    c[h] = c[h] + 1
f.close()
for i in range(24):
    print '{:02d} {}'.format(i, c[i])

There's no need to strip whitespace just before splitting on it.

This:

     l.strip().split()

can be shortened to this:

     l.split()

MRAB,

The Revised code produces a traceback:
()
      9
     10 c = [0 for i in range(24)]
---> 11 f  = open(filename,'r')
     12 for l in f:
     13      h = int(l.split()[X].split(':')[Y])

NameError: name 'filename' is not defined



The revised code reads:

handle = """From stephen.marquard@uct.ac.za Sat Jan  5 09:14:16 2008
>From louis@media.berkeley.edu Fri Jan  4 18:10:48 2008
""".split("\n")
# Snippet file data: mbox-short.txt

count = dict()
#fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ")# Add Snippet file
#handle = open (fname, 'r')# Add Snippet file

c = [0 for i in range(24)]
f  = open(filename,'r')
for l in f:
     h = int(l.split()[X].split(':')[Y])
     c[h] = c[h] + 1
f.close()
for i in range(24):
     print '{:02d} {}'.format(i, c[i])


How do I define the file name in order to remove the traceback?

Regards,
Hal

So, read your posted code below and tell us where the label 'filename' 
is defined.  We can't find it.  Neither can python.  That's what the 
error message means.  Was that not clear?  You do understand the 
difference between text and labels, right?  You have by now reviewed the 
tutorial?

How do I define X?

If you read the text that I posted with the solution, it tells you what X 
and Y are. They are numbers that describe the positions of elements in 
your input data.

This absolute refusal by you to read any explanations that are posted are 
exactly why you will never be a good programmer. To become a good 
programmer you need to read and understand the explanations.

In the post with that code example, I wrote:

It also assumes that there is a timestamp of the form hh:mm:ss that 
always appears at the same word position X in each line in the file, and 
that the hours record always at position Y in the timestamp.

You have to replace X and Y in that line with numbers that represent the 
positions in the lists returned by the relevant split commands of the 
actual text elements that you want to extract.

Denis,

What are the values of X & Y from the code as follows:

Code reads:
handle = """From stephen.marquard@uct.ac.za Sat Jan  5 09:14:16 2008
>From louis@media.berkeley.edu Fri Jan  4 18:10:48 2008
""".split("\n") # snippet file data: mbox-short.txt

count = dict()
#fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ")# insert # to add snippet file data
#handle = open (fname, 'r')# insert # to add snippet file data

for line in handle:
    if line.startswith("From "):
        time = line.split() # splitting the lines ->
        # print time: ['From', 'stephen.marquard@uct.ac.za', 'Sat',
'Jan', '5', '09:14:16', '2008']
        for hours in time: #getting the index pos of time ->

            hours = line.split(":")[2] # splitting on ":" ->
        line = line.rstrip()

        count[hours] = count.get(hours, 0) + 1 # getting the index pos of hours.

lst = [(val,key) for key,val in count.items()] # find the most common words
lst.sort(reverse=True)

for key, val in lst[:12] :
     print key, val

Hal

This is the data you need to look at.

X is the position in the printed list of the time information. If you can 
not determine the correct X value by inspection of the list having been 
told which element it should be, then you need to go back to the python 
documentation and read about the list data object and how elements within 
the list are referenced. Once you understand from the documentation how 
to reference the list elements, you will be able to determine by 
inspection of the above list the correct value for X.

Y is the position of the hours element within the time information when 
that information is further split using the ':' separator. You may need 
to refer to the documentation for the split() method of the string data 
object. Once you understand from the documentation how the string.split() 
function creates a list, and how to reference the list elements (as 
above), you will be able to determine by inspection the correct value for 
Y.

This is fundamental python knowledge, and you must discover it in the 
documentation and understand it. You will then be able to determine the 
correct values for X and Y.

Note that the code I posted may need the addition of a line something 
like:

    if line.startswith("From "):

in a relevant position, as well as additional indenting to take account 
of that addition.

Print out the result of "l.split()" and figure out the value of X that 
will give you the part you want.

Then, print out the result of the ".split(':')" part and figure out the 
value of Y that will give you the part you want.

Perhaps you should read the message. It's very clear.

Not to Ltc Hotspot.  I'm unsure as to whether he's simply incompetent or 
a troll, but whatever I plonked him several days ago on the tutor 
mailing list.  Since then he's asked the same question here and on the 
core mentorship list.  I suggest that everybody stop wasting their time 
and bandwidth.

Which is exactly what the OP was told on the tutor mailing list several 
days ago, and he's also asked on the core mentorship list earlier today 
as well.

Which is why we kept telling you over on the tutor mailing list to show 
us your complete code, not to put it in a link, and also not to top 
post.  Why we bother as volunteers to waste our time on someone such as 
yourself who posts mutiple times but refuses to take any notice of what 
actually gets said I really don't know.
