I just wanted to point out a bit of syntax from the article. I'm a huge fan of compact variable declaration if statements. The code from the article:

    if name in names:
        names[name] += 1
    else:
        names[name] = 1

That can actually be written as just one neat, readable line:

    names[name] = names[name] + 1 if name in names else 1

It may not be as readable to some who are used to spelling it out as an if/else block, but I really prefer the one line way. It reads closer to regular English I think.
