title: Python Pyplot word occurrence frequency
body: <p>I have to plot the occurrence of each frequency of word in a txt file. So far I have the dictionary that contains each word and the frequency that it appears in the txt file. In order to plot, I have to convert that dictionary into a new dictionary (I'm assuming) that counts the number words at each frequency. For instance, if 5 words appear 3 times in the txt file, those need to be a single dictionary grouping that will plot the frequency as the x axis and number of words at that frequency on the y axis. </p>
  
  <p>What I have now is simply not working: </p>
  
  <pre><code>def plot(word_dict):
      new_dict = {}
      for value in word_dict.values():
          if value in word_dict:
               new_dict += 1
          else:
              new_dict = 1
          y = new_dict[value]
          x = word_dict[value]
      pyplot.plot(x, y)
      pyplot.show()
