rzarifov / word-counter

Info

The purpose of this example code is to count the words in a given file using a command line.
The word count also takes into respect an alphabetical order of words, not only the word count alone.
The code is overengineered on purpose, and doesn't indicate that the actual production code will be overengineered in the same manner.

The given example uses pipenv as it's environment handler, therefore it must be installed on the system:
pip install pipenv

After pipenv successfully installed you can launch a virtual environment:
pipenv shell

And install dependencies by running:
pipenv install

After that, you're ready to roll:

python -m unittest

Running a script:

Example 1: python main.py file.txt
