Interesting responses. I harp on that
somedict [ key ] = somedict.get( key, 0 ) + 1 option quite a bit, as shorter and easier than all that try / except stuff. That's just the bias I've been applying, to an invisible army of... what? Hundreds? Hard to keep track. Anyway, good to see the other side of things. I tend to bust out in try / except syntax when I have to, but if I can keep it more button-down, I do.
