not count how many sublists in the main list.

wanna count the occurence of the sublists,

I mean, something like

>>> dictionary[list1[1]]=occurence

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#298>", line 1, in <module>
    dictionary[list1[1]]=1
TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#298>", line 1, in <module>
    dictionary[list1[1]]=1
TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'
