so it still unfinished :) around 1GB for 1033268 words :) (comes from a

Paul > i was also thinking on doing it like that by pip-ing to 'sort |
uniq -c | sort -nr' , but i'm pleased if Python can handle it. (well
but maybe Python is slower? will check later...)

when googling i first found a post from Raymond Hettinger so i'm going
