I'm trying to print email address and each of their frequency on it's right by reading a text file. The counting part is correct but it prints other things as well. I'm not sure how to solve this. Hope someone could enlighten me. Thank you very much.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. import string
2. fname = raw_input("Enter a file name: ")
3. if len(fname) == 0 :
4.     print "Assuming mbox-short.txt"
5.     fname = "mbox-short.txt"
6.  
7. try:
8.     infile = open(fname, "r")
9. except:
10.     print "File not found:", fname
11.     exit()
12.  
13. counts = {}
14. for line in infile:
15.  
16.     words = string.split(line)
17.  
18.  
19.  
20.     if (len (words) > 0 and words[0] == 'From'):
21.         for w in words:
22.             counts[w] = counts.get(w,0) + 1
23.             print w, counts [w]
24.  
25.  
26.

I'm not sure what your problem is, but this will print the email addresses and the number of times they occur:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. fn = 'text.txt'
2. f = open(fn)
3.  
4. emailDict = {}
5. for line in f:
6.     if line.lower().startswith('from'):
7.         try:
8.             email = line.split()[1]
9.             emailDict[email] = emailDict.get(email,0)+1
10.         except:
11.             pass
12.  
13. f.close()
14.  
15. for key in emailDict:
16.     print '%s: %d' % (key, emailDict[key])

I did little to your code except pull the print statements outside the loop.
