The most interesting thing[1] was interesting because I should have known it.
It used the dictionary get method to count words.

    counts = {}
    for word in words_list:
        counts[word] = counts.get(word, 0) + 1

We had to look it up in Learning Python by Mark Lutz.
(p 210 in a printing of 4th edition.)

It reminded me of the introductory examples on starting on page 19 of pfda[2].

Someone just passed the CISSP exam, so now can play with Python.
If he passed, his employer would pay for it (about $600).
If he failed, his employer would not pay for it.
It was a four hour multiple choice exam.
One gets a pass/fail grade. 70% is passing.
One is not told how well one did.

That's a great introduction to (i)python and is getting some maintainance
attention, including the addition of a pandas notebook.

There are probably more notes and ipython notebooks coming for 
this dojo.
