title: syntax error with open()
body: <p>I am getting an runtime error; when I remove "try except", it says invalid syntax at first letter of line tagstats = open("rramtag256.txt", 'r') </p>
  
  <p>My rramtag256.txt definitely has the strings being searched</p>
  
  <pre><code>import sys
  import os
  import string
  
      tagstats = open("rramtag256.txt", 'r')
      list=[]
      for line in tagstats:
              if "Tag array:  Total dynamic read energy/access" in line:
                      s=line.split()
                      print s[0]
                      x=1
              if 'Area Components:' in line:
                      if 'Total leakage read/write power of a bank' in list:
                              s=list.split()
                              print s[0]
              if x==1:
                      list.append(line)
  
      tagstats.close()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
