frequency_dict = {}

for character in string:
    if character in frequency_dict:
        frequency_dict[character] += 1
    else:
        frequency_dict[character] = 1

least_occurring = min(frequency_dict, key=frequency_dict.get)

# Displaying result
print("\nLeast occuring character is: ", least_occurring)
print("It is repeated %d time(s)" %(frequency_dict[least_occurring]))

Output
