Hi Martin,
It is always helpful to provide python version, operating system version, full error message,
and input/expected output for the code. Now I can tell you are using Python 2.x but 
without having any clue what is in keywords1.txt it is impossible to figure out
what the problem might be. Other than using regular expressions that is. :)
