You've called it 'fh', which suggests that it's a file. It isn't. It's
a bytestring (what the .read method return).

If you iterate over a file that's been opened as text, you'll get the
lines of the file, but you're iterating over a bytestring, which will
yield each byte (an int) in turn.

You should decoding the bytestring, split it into lines, and then
iterate over them.
