[Numpy-discussion] Count the occurrence of a certain integer in a list of integers

[Mark.Miller]

A late entry, but here's something that gets you an array of counts for 
each unique integer:

 >>> data = numpy.array([9, 6, 9, 6, 7, 9, 9, 10, 7, 9, 9, 6, 7, 9, 8, 
8, 11, 9, 6, 7, 10, 9, 7, 9, 7, 8, 9, 8, 7, 9])
 >>> unique=numpy.unique(data)
 >>> unique
array([ 6,  7,  8,  9, 10, 11])
 >>> histo=numpy.histogram(data,unique)
 >>> histo
(array([ 4,  7,  4, 12,  2,  1]), array([ 6,  7,  8,  9, 10, 11]))
 >>>

So histo[0] includes the counts of each integer in data.
