To find the most common words, we can apply the DSU pattern; most_common takes a histogram and returns a list of word-frequency tuples, sorted in reverse order by frequency:
def most_common(hist): t = [] for key, value in hist.items(): t.append((value, key)) t.sort(reverse=True) return t
Here is a loop that prints the ten most common words:
t = most_common(hist)print 'The most common words are:'for freq, word in t[0:10]:print word, '\t', freq
And here are the results from Emma:
