[Tutor] Iteration issues

[Roger Lea Scherer]

Hello, again.

I want to count words in a text file. If a word repeats I want to increase
the count by 1; if the word is new to the dictionary, I want to add the
word to the dictionary. Everything works like I would like and expect,
except for it only adds the last word of each line to the dictionary. What
am I missing?

import string

file_name = 'oxford.txt'
wordset = {}
with open(file_name, 'r') as f:
    for line in f:
        sentence = line.strip()
        sentence = sentence.strip(string.punctuation)
        print(sentence)
        sentence = sentence.lower()
        word_list = sentence.strip()
        word_list = word_list.split(' ')

        for i in range(len(word_list)):
            word_list[i] = word_list[i].strip(string.punctuation)
        print(word_list)

        if word_list[i] in wordset:
            wordset[word_list[i]] += 1
        else:
            wordset[word_list[i]] = 1
        print(wordset)

The output is: (I included only the first four lines)

The Project Gutenberg EBook of Advice to a Young Man upon First Going to

'young', 'man', 'upon', 'first', 'going', 'to']

Thank you as always.
