Looping with Beautifulsoup

[CaptainCsaba]

You can only go through a file object once. You do that on line 7 when you use the readlines method. So then on line 18 you read nothing, because you've already read the file.

I would suggest getting rid of urlcount and numberoflines, and looping over the file directly.

with open('input.txt') as url_file:
    for my_url in url_file:
        uClient = uReq(my_url.strip())
        ...

The idea is great, it's much shorter and easier this way, however, I get a syntax error at the "as" in while open('input.txt') as url_file: thich I don't really understand why. I am using python 3.7.
