In another place I used the dictionary directly but it amounted to the same thing. All respondents prefer having a dictionary (elements mapped to counts) instead of an itertool returning (cnt, elem) ... Just to be clear before I do it, does everyone support having dict.countkeys() as a dictionary classmethod instead of the original proposal?

I would rather not have it as a class method personally. I believe Bob suggested creating a bucket type. That sounds reasonable and could go into 'collections'
