It wasn't my intention to belittle you; I'm sorry. But we do get a
 lot of people here asking for homework help, and not saying
 that's what it is. And when it's homework we do better explaining
 than just writing the code. 

In fact you only needed to add a line like
     data= infile.read ()
to Steven's original to get a complete working example.

Not irritated,  just temporarily misguided.
