Hello,
I'm wondering if there's a quick way of resolving this problem.
In a program, I have a list of tuples of form (str,int), where int is a
count of how often str occurs
e.g. L = [ (X,1),(Y,2)] would mean X occurs once and Y occurs
twice
If I am given a string, I want to search L to see if

So clearly that doesn't work... any ideas?
Yes, use the proper tool for the job. Tuples are

Yes, use the proper tool for the job. Tuples are immutable (they are
read-only once created). Instead use a dictionary. They key would be
your string, the value would be the count.
Wow, I really should have thought of that! Thanks.

And the OP should note that converting between dict d and list of
pairs L is simply a matter of L = d.items() and d = dict(L)
