A problem (possibly the problem) is the lines which use the get function:
count = frequency.get(word,0)
Since the dictionary is empty at the start of the loop, the get function is
passing a value of 0 to count and count1.
The subsequent updates to the dictionary are applying a value of zero
As a result, the file being written to contains count values of 0 for each
word.
Possible fix is to replace this:
count = frequency.get(word,0)
count1 = frequency.get(word1,0)
if word1 == word:
frequency[word] = count + count1
else:
frequency[word] = count
with this:
if word1 == word:
if word in frequency:
frequency[word] += 1
else:
frequency[word] = 1
