## initial place to store the dictionaries
cache = {}

## define a function to count the words

def countWords(fileName):
    filename = {}
    for line in infile:
        words = line.split()
        words = words.strip(' ,"!.?:;')
        for word in words:
            if word in fileName:
                fileName[word] = fileName[name] + 1
            else:
                fileName[word]= 1
     return filename

## prompt the user to enter the file name
fileName = ('Enter the name of a file: ')
infile = open( fileName , 'r',)

## checking if the file has been read before

if fileName in cache:
    print('ok')
else: ##### create a function
    cache [fileName] = countWords (fileName)
infile.close()
## display the dictionary of the file that we have read
for word in sorted(fileName):
    print("%s: %d" % (word, fileName[word]))

@Galopanama, thanks for letting us know about this problem. Sorry for the delay.

You said "that is the message that I receive". What message are you talking about?

The message you quoted suggested that you include a traceback in your error report. Please include that.

@RajeshSivadasan, that sounds like a different problem. In fact, it sounds like it could be a duplicate of several issues: #4223, #4463, or #4238. If it is not one of those then please open a new issue. Thanks!
