How to count the repetition of the elements in a list python, django

Question

I have a django app, I am using `django-taggit` for my blog. Now I have a list of elements (In fact objects) that I got from database in one of my view as below ``` tags = [, , , , , , ] ``` Now how to find the count of each element in the list and return a list of tuples as below result should be as below ``` [(,2),(,2),(,1),(,2)] ``` so that I can use them in template by looping it something like below view ``` def display_list_of_tags(request): tags = [, , , , , , ] # After doing some operation on above list as indicated above tags_with_count = [(,2),(,2),(,1),(,2)] return HttpResponse('some_template.html',dict(tags_with_count:tags_with_count)) ``` template ``` {% for tag_obj in tags_with_count %}

Accepted Answer

Try Python's Counter:

```
from collections import Counter

l =  ['some', 'here', 'tags', 'some', 'created', 'here', 'tags']
print(Counter(l).items())
```

Output:

```
[('created', 1), ('some', 2), ('here', 2), ('tags', 2)]
```
