I have a python code for word frequency count from a text file. The problem with the program is that it takes fullstop into account hence altering the count. For counting word i've used a sorted list of words. I tried to remove the fullstop using
words = open(f, 'r').read().lower().split()
uniqueword = sorted(set(words))
uniqueword = uniqueword.replace(".","")
but i get error as
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'replace'
Any help would be appreciated :)
