Question

In Python 2.7, I want to iterate over a collections.Counter instance in descending count order.

Answer 1

Here is the example to iterate the Counter in Python collections:

>>>def counterIterator(): 
 import collections
 counter = collections.Counter()
 counter.update(('u1','u1'))
 counter.update(('u2','u2'))
 counter.update(('u2','u1'))
 for ele in counter:
  print(ele,counter[ele])
>>>counterIterator()
u1 3
u2 3
