How to get the least common element in a list?

To find the most common, I know I can use something like this:

most_common = collections.Counter(list).most_common(to_find)

However, I can't seem to find anything comparable, for finding the least common element.

Could I please get recommendations on how to do.

Solution 1:

most_common without any argument returns all the entries, ordered from most common to least.

So to find the least common, just start looking at it from the other end.

What about

least_common = collections.Counter(array).most_common()[-1]
