title: Finding frequency distribution of a list of numbers in python
body: <p>I have a Long list of numbers like the following. I would like to find frequency distribution of each number, but I could not use Counter function to get frequency of each item, as they are integers and I get the error that it is not iterable , and therefore I could not convert the list to strings. I checked the similar questions but they did not work for me.</p>
