Counter是对字典类型的补充，用于追踪值的出现次数。
ps：具备字典的所有功能 + 自己的功能
c = Counter('abcdeabcdabcaba')
print c
输出：Counter({'a': 5, 'b': 4, 'c': 3, 'd': 2, 'e': 1})

######################################################################## class Counter(dict):
'''Dict subclass for counting hashable items. Sometimes called a bag
or multiset. Elements are stored as dictionary keys and their counts
are stored as dictionary values. >>> c = Counter('abcdeabcdabcaba') # count elements from a string >>> c.most_common(3) # three most common elements
[('a', 5), ('b', 4), ('c', 3)]

>>> for elem in 'shazam': # update counts from an iterable
... c[elem] += 1 # by adding 1 to each element's count
>>> c['a'] # now there are seven 'a'
>>> del c['b'] # remove all 'b'
>>> c['b'] # now there are zero 'b' >>> d = Counter('simsalabim') # make another counter
>>> c.update(d) # add in the second counter
>>> c['a'] # now there are nine 'a' >>> c.clear() # empty the counter
>>> c
Counter() Note: If a count is set to zero or reduced to zero, it will remain
in the counter until the entry is deleted or the counter is cleared: >>> c = Counter('aaabbc')
>>> c['b'] -= 2 # reduce the count of 'b' by two
>>> c.most_common() # 'b' is still in, but its count is zero
[('a', 3), ('c', 1), ('b', 0)] '''
