Of course I am new to Python. I am wondering if it has to do anything with the indentation. Putting my most recent code here, again:

try :
        # read line from file:
        print(file.readline())
        # parse
        parse_json(file.readline())
        count = count - 1
    except socket.error as e:
        print('Connection fail', e)
        print(traceback.format_exc())
