Word frequencies -- Python or Perl for performance?

[Anders M Eriksson]

Hello Jim!

I tried to run the program in Python 2.1 but I get errors 

>if __name__ == '__main__':
>	wcount = Wordcount()
>	for i in sys.argv[1:]:
>		file = open(i,"r")
>		for line in file:
Here I get the error ^
    for line in file:
TypeError: loop over non-sequence

Is this something specific for Python 2.2, or just a typo?
