Proving once again that eyeballing the test is not running the test!

As penance I have reduced it from seven lines to six. This one is actually

import sys

concord = {}
for word in [token.lower() for token in open(sys.argv
[1],"r").read().split()]:
   concord[word] = concord.get(word,0) + 1
result = sorted(concord.items(), lambda x,y: cmp(-x[1],-y[1]) or
cmp(x[0],y[0]) )
print "\n".join( ["%s\t%s" % pair[-1::-1] for pair in result] )
