An attempt at verifying Zipf's law for programming languages
###Python keyword usage analysis
An attempt at verifying if Zipf's Law(Or any other power law for that matter) holds for programming languages as well. We tried to verify that for python. The "library" for our "language" is the [flask project] (https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask) The entire Flask project has 885 python files and close to 19541 python keywords.

Turns out only the first few keywords follow some kind of distribution.
