In principle you could use:
np.equal(a,a).sum(0)
but, for unknown reason, np.equal operates only on "normal" arrays. maybe you can transform the array to arrays of numbers, for example by hash.

It's *very* slow, when there are a large number of items.
numpy creates the full boolean array for each item.
