Example 1: python count repeated elements in a list
dict_of_counts = {item:your_list.count(item) for item in your_list}
your_list = ["a", "b", "a", "c", "c", "a", "c"]
dict_of_counts = {item:your_list.count(item) for item in your_list}
print(dict_of_counts)
--> {'a': 3, 'b': 1, 'c': 3}
Example 2: python repeat a sequence n times
>>> np.repeat(3, 4)
array([3, 3, 3, 3])
>>> x = np.array([[1,2],[3,4]])
>>> np.repeat(x, 2)
array([1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4])
>>> np.repeat(x, 3, axis=1)
array([[1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2],
[3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4]])
>>> np.repeat(x, [1, 2], axis=0)
array([[1, 2],
[3, 4],
[3, 4]])
