I thought it might be some loop reason made it double output the results, so
I made an adjustation in indent, now it showed:
$ python3 counter-vertically-v2.py
{'B': [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], 'E': [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0]}
{'B': [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], 'E': [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0]}
[1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "counter-vertically-v2.py", line 48, in <module>
    dofiles(".")
  File "counter-vertically-v2.py", line 13, in dofiles
    processfile(filename)
  File "counter-vertically-v2.py", line 31, in processfile
    for a,b in zip(results['E'],results['B']):
KeyError: 'E'

still two results, but the summary is correct, with a KeyError which I don't
know how to fix the key error here.

#!/bin/python3

import os.path


TOKENS="BE"
LINESTOSKIP=0
INFILEEXT=".xpm"
OUTFILEEXT=".txt"

def dofiles(topdirectory):
    for filename in os.listdir(topdirectory):
        processfile(filename)

def processfile(infilename):
    results={}
    base, ext =os.path.splitext(infilename)
    if ext == INFILEEXT:
        text = fetchonefiledata(infilename)
        numcolumns=len(text[0])
        for ch in TOKENS:
            results[ch] = [0]*numcolumns
        for line in text:
            line = line.strip()
        for col, ch in enumerate(line):
            if ch in TOKENS:
                results[ch][col]+=1
    for k,v in results.items():
        print(results)
    summary=[]
    for a,b in zip(results['E'],results['B']):
        summary.append(a+b)
    print(summary)
    writeonefiledata(base+OUTFILEEXT,summary)

def fetchonefiledata(inname):
    infile = open(inname)
    text = infile.readlines()
    return text[LINESTOSKIP:]

def writeonefiledata(outname,summary):
    outfile = open(outname,"w")
    for elem in summary:
        outfile.write(str(summary))


if __name__=="__main__":
    dofiles(".")

Thanks all for your time,
