If you want help here, reduce your code and input to the minimum needed, 
put the input in the code as a string, and if you still do not see the 
problem, post here, along with the traceback.

    fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ")
    if len(fname) < 1 : 
        fname = "mbox-short.txt"
    for line in fname:
        line = line.strip()
        if not line.startwith('From '): 
              continue
        line = line.split()
        count = count + 1


You need to actually open the file. (Look up how to do that) The first 'for' loop is looping through the file NAME, not the file OBJECT. Also, line.startwith() should be line.startswith().
