Python help

[Flyguygamer]

I am learning python following online video tutorials but am having issues with this code.

bestStudent = {}f = open('studentgrades.txt', 'r+')for line in f:	name, grade = line.split()	bestStudent[grade] = name		f.close()	bestStudentStr = ""for i in sorted(bestStudent.keys(), reverse=True):			print(bestStudent[i] + 'scored a' + i)			bestStudentStr += bestStudent[i] + 'scored a ' + i + '\n'						print(bestStudentStr)			bestStudentStr = '\nThe Best Students Ranked\n\n' + bestStudentStroutToFile = open('studentrank.txt', mode='w', encoding='utf-8')outToFile.write(bestStudentStr)outToFile.closeprint('Finished Update')

I have the files in the correct directory but when I try to execute the code I get an error on line 3.

Traceback (most recent call last):  File "C:\Users\Jake.JakeHuitt-HP\workspace\learning python\Learning_python.py", line 3, in <module>    for line in f:ValueError: I/O operation on closed file.

What is the issue? Thanks in advance, Jake.

You close the file while still using it.

 

f.close() should be after the loop.

 

Also, you forgot the () on

outToFile.close

What line does the f.close() belong on?

The line is fine, just get rid of the indention to take it out of the loop.

Thanks for all of your help. May I keep this thread alive and keep posting issues I have or start a new one each time? Also may I PM you with questions? Like I said I am new at programming.

If the problems aren't related, it is better to make different threads (mainly because your problem may already have been asked and answered, and it will be easier for the future to have threads dedicated to specific problems).

 

@fizzlesticks can speak for himself, but if you want to PM me, that's fine.
