Assuming you want to print count of all alphabets appearing in the file
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
seen = {} #to collect alphabet counts
data = open("file1.txt").read()
for i in data:
 	if i.isalpha(): #if alphabet
 		if not seen.has_key(i):
 			seen[i] = 0
 		seen[i] = seen[i] + 1

for i,j in seen.iteritems():
    print "Alphabet: %s, Count:%s" % (i,j)

Output sample:
Alphabet: A, Count:4
Alphabet: c, Count:8
Alphabet: o, Count:4
Alphabet: n, Count:5
Alphabet: u, Count:4
Alphabet: t, Count:4

gc

GC(1)							      General Commands Manual							     GC(1)

NAME

       gc - count graph components

SYNOPSIS

       gc [ -necCaDUrs?  ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

       gc is a graph analogue to wc in that it prints to standard output the number of nodes, edges, connected components or clusters contained in
       the input files.  It also prints a total count for all graphs if more than one graph is given.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -n     Count nodes.

       -e     Count edges.

       -c     Count connected components.

       -C     Count clusters. By definition, a cluster is a graph or subgraph whose name begins with "cluster".

       -a     Count all. Equivalent to -encC

       -r     Recursively analyze subgraphs.

       -s     Print no output. Only exit value is important.

       -D     Only analyze directed graphs.

       -U     Only analyze undirected graphs.

       -?     Print usage information.

       By default, gc returns the number of nodes and edges.

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported:

       files   Names of files containing 1 or more graphs in dot format.  If no files operand is specified, the standard input will be used.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0   Successful completion.

       1   The -U or -E option was used, and a graph of the wrong type was encountered.
