[You'll get a better audience on the main Python list. This list is mostly used for UK-specific stuff like meetups, job openings etc.]

Python is a case-sensitive language. You can' say "for fileName in..."
in one line and then refer to "filename" in the next.

Even apart from the other problems you're going to have when you
realise that file is a list (and that you're shadowing a builtin name).
