It's for python 3:
I'm trying to do a pretty basic program to figure out how much of a given digit it has in a string or a number.
For example, if the user types 1200, I want to print- "your number has 2 zeros" .... or if the user types "hi, alright?" I want to print- "your phrase has 2 'o's
# coding: utf-8
# Informe uma frase
frase = input("Informe uma frase: ")
# Informe qual o caractere que deseja saber a quantidade contida na frase
caracter = input("Informe o caracter que deseja contar: ")
# método: count - Conta quantas vezes o caractere foi usado na frase
# Imprime a quantidade.
print("Sua frase tem: " + str(frase.count(caracter)) + " digito(s): " + str(caracter))

Extending the answer from @ Wéllingthon M. de Souza who answered your question well, here are two alternatives in case you want to count all the characters:
from collections import Counter
frase = input("Informe uma frase: ")
count_chars = Counter(frase)
text = '\n'.join('A Frase tem {} {}'.format(v, k) for k, v in count_chars.items())
print(text)
In a slightly more didactic way it can be:
frase = input("Informe uma frase: ")
count_chars = {}
for char in frase:
if char not in count_chars:
count_chars[char] = 0
count_chars[char] += 1
for char in count_chars:
print('A Frase tem {} {}'.format(count_chars[char], char))
