返回彼此对应的两个列表？

Question

I'm writing a program that takes two functions I have defined and returns n number of words and their frequencies. The problem is, my program is only returning the frequencies. I've tried zipping the words and frequencies together but that hasn't worked. From what you see, am I approaching this wrong?

def computeWordFrequencies(filename): #my function
    f = open(filename,'r')
    j = f.read() 
    OriginalL1 = parse(j)
    L1 = unique(parse(j))
    L2 = [OriginalL1.count(freq) for freq in L1]
    L = [L1, L2]
    return L


def mostFrequentWords(word,frequency,n):
   words = word
   freqs = sorted(frequency,reverse=True)
   return freqs[:n]

L = computeWordFrequencies('file.txt') #takes a file and returns words & their frequencies
words = zip(*sorted(zip(L[0],L[1])))
freqs = L[1]
print mostFrequentWords(words,freqs,100)

Answer 1

def mostFrequentWords(word,frequency,n):
   my_list = zip(word,frequency) #combine the two lists
   my_list.sort(key=lambda x:x[1],reverse=True) #sort by freq
   words,freqs = zip(*my_list[:n]) #take the top n entries and split back to seperate lists
   return words #return our most frequent words in order

should work better ...
