Newbie here... getting a count of repeated instances in a list.

[Amy G]

Not sure that I actually have two dictionaries.  I am setting

domains_black = filter_domains2(domain_histogram, threshold)

I thought this would return a dictionary, but apparently it is a list.
How do I perform this operation on the dictionary?

I am going to have to think of some way to thank you for all of your help.
