Hi Jalil,

Because you're doing this:

> from os import *

It means that when you get to this line:

> fh=open(filename)

You're actually calling os.open, which is lower-level than the
standard open() and expects different arguments.

Many people recommend not doing "from .. import *" if you can possibly
avoid it because of this precise problem!
