Python Data Structure Assignment_10.2 || Week 6

10.2 Write a program to read through the mbox-short.txt and figure out the distribution by hour of the day for each of the messages. You can pull the hour out from the 'From ' line by finding the time and then splitting the string a second time using a colon.

Once you have accumulated the counts for each hour, print out the counts, sorted by hour as shown below.

Code :

name = raw_input("Enter file:")

if len(name) < 1 : name = "mbox-short.txt"

handle = open(name)

d=dict()

count = 0

for line in handle:

    

    if not line.startswith('From'):continue

        

    line=line.split()

    

    if line[0]=='From':

        

        line =  line[5].split(':')

        

        for hrs in line[0].split():

            

            if hrs not in d:

                

                d[hrs]=1

            else:

                d[hrs]+=1

                

for key,value in sorted(d.items()):

    print(key,value)
