You can do thinks like:
results['key_which_does_not_exist'] = 1 #or for counting results['key_which_does_not_exist'] += 1 # if the key does not exist, it's 0
I think that
collections.Counter will be a better choice. One of the advantages of Counter is that you may apply arithmetic operations between objects of that type

- Someone gave you an advice you liked? Test it - maybe the advice was actually bad.
- Someone gave you an advice you think is bad? Test it before arguing - maybe it was good.
- You posted a claim that something you did not test works? Be prepared to eat your hat.
