10.2 Write a program to read through the mbox-short.txt and figure out the distribution by hour of the day for each of the messages. You can pull the hour out from the 'From ' line by finding the time and then splitting the string a second time using a colon.

Hey guys this is my code on the Q it works nicely but if there is anything that I did wrong or I could have initially avoided pls let me know :)

fname = input("Enter File Name: ")
fhandle = open(fname)
lst = list()
count = dict()
finallist = list()
for line in fhandle:
if line.startswith("From") and not line.startswith("From:"):
line = line.split()
lst.append(line[5])

for hour in lst:
hour = hour.split(":")
finallist.append(hour[0])

for ftime in finallist:
count[ftime] = count.get(ftime, 0) + 1

for x, y in sorted(count.items()):
print(x, y)

name = input("Enter file:")

if len(name) < 1:
name = "mbox-short.txt"

handle = open(name)
counts = dict()

for line in handle:
line = line.strip()
if line.startswith('From '):
word = line.split()
time = word[5]
hour = time.split(':')[0]
counts[hour] = counts.get(hour,0) + 1

for k,v in sorted(counts.items()):
print(k,v)
