Answer 1

If you want to use regular expressions, then [Tt] is the pattern for "a T or t followed by a space". To count the number of occurrences of this pattern in a text, you can write:

len(re.findall('[Tt] ', text))

If you don't want to use regular expressions, then you can write:

text.count('T ') + text.count('t ')
