My dict is not good

[wavic]

I want to create a dict from txt file, with words & summed ascii value ...

In [1]: words = ['a', 'aa', 'faiou' 'ggww']

In [2]: ascii_sums = {word: sum([ord(char) for char in word]) for word in words}
   ...: 

In [3]: ascii_sums
Out[3]: {'a': 97, 'aa': 194, 'faiouggww': 976}

It's not clear why these are not the results you expect, so perhaps you could give us a sample of the input file along with the expected results?
