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.

Can you please try running your code again- I ran it and get errors (I've also ran it for many many other people's code to see what it would do):

The issue I am having is that the my code is printing out the hour every time still with the count. The count part is correct but how do I get it to only show the hour once?

Code below:
name = input("Enter file:")
if len(name) < 1:
name = "mbox-short.txt"
handle = open(name)
lst = list()
time_count = dict()
for line in handle:
line = line.rstrip()
if not line.startswith('From '):
continue
words = line.split()
time = words[5]
time_split = time.split(':')
hours = time_split[0]
#print(hours)
time_count[hours] = time_count.get(hours,0)+1
#print(time_count)
for k in time_count.items():
lst.append(k)
t = sorted(lst)
for k,v in t:
print(k,v)

name = input("Enter file:")
if len(name) < 1 :
name = "mbox-short.txt"
handle = open(name)

counts = dict()
for line in handle :
if line.startswith('From ') :
nums = line.split()
num = nums[5]
hrs = num[0:2]
counts[hrs] = counts.get(hrs,0) + 1

    lst = list()

for value , count in counts.items():
lst.append((value,count))
lst.sort()
for value , count in lst:
print (value,count)

name = input("Enter file:")

handle = open(name) #mbox-short.txt

list1=list()

for lines in handle:

if lines.startswith('From '):
    
    lines2=lines.strip()
    
    lines3=lines2.split()
    
    lines4=lines3[5]
    
    lines5=lines4.split(':')
    
    lines6=lines5[0]
    
    #print(lines6)
    
    list1.append(lines6)

#print(list1)

dict1=dict()

for hrs in list1:

    dict1[hrs]=dict1.get(hrs,0)+1

#print(dict1)

for K,V in sorted(dict1.items()):
print(K,V)

Please help me with the code, however I correct the code I'm getting the #error

Hey did you solve the issue? I am also facing the same problem

Yes I solved the problem.
Just leave space after 'm' in 'From '

`name = input("Enter file:")
if len(name) < 1:
name = "mbox-short.txt"
handle = open(name)

email = dict()
for line in handle:
if not line.startswith('From '): continue
time = line.split()
hour = time[5].split(':')[0]
email[hour] = email.get(hour,0) +1

lst = list()
for k,v in email.items():
lst.append([k,v])
lst = sorted(lst)

for k,v in lst:
print(k,v)

@ChernetAsmamaw i used the code you provided but still it says list index out of range.

@Le12vi A "list index out of range" error occurs when you try to access an index of a list that does not exist. Perhaps you made a mistake when naming your list variables, could you check that?

Hey guys this is my code on the Q it works nicely but if there is anything that I did wrong or I could have initially avoided pls let me know :)

fhandle = open(fname)

count = dict()
finallist = list()
for line in fhandle:
if line.startswith("From") and not line.startswith("From:"):
line = line.split()
lst.append(line[5])

for hour in lst:
hour = hour.split(":")
finallist.append(hour[0])

for ftime in finallist:
count[ftime] = count.get(ftime, 0) + 1

for x, y in sorted(count.items()):
print(x, y)
