Return Most Common Words In A Website, Such That Word Count >5

I am new to python. I have a simple program to find the number of times a word has been used in a website. opener = urllib2.build_opener() opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozi

Solution 1:

How can i update the script so that the word included, has atleast 5 word count.

You can filter the Counter as follows: filter(lambda x: x[1] > 5, word_counts.iteritems())

filter() takes a function and an iterable, applies the function to each element of the iterable, and only includes that item in the output if the function returned True. iteritems() returns a generator which yields key, value pairs over a dictionary.

how can i arrange the top 5 most common words, into say word1, word2, word3.... etc.

There is a most_common(n) Counter function. See http://docs.python.org/2/library/collections.html

Solution 2:

Try: print word_counts.most_common(5)
