9.4 Write a program to read through the mbox-short.txt and figure out who has sent the greatest number of mail messages.
The program looks for 'From ' lines and takes the second word of those lines as the person who sent the mail.
The program creates a Python dictionary that maps the sender's mail address to a count of the number of times they appear in the file.
After the dictionary is produced, the program reads through the dictionary using a maximum loop to find the most prolific committer.
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:'):
continue
if line.startswith('From'):
line = line.rstrip()
word = line.split()
word = word[1]
counts[word] = counts.get(word,0) + 1
bigcount = None
bigword = None
for word, count in counts.items():
if bigcount is None or count > bigcount:
bigword = word
bigcount = count
print(bigword, bigcount)
