Hi Iam just starting out with python...My code below changes the txt file into a list and add them to an empty dictionary and print how often the word occurs, but it only seems to recognise and print the last entry of the txt file. Any help would be great.

tm =open('ask.txt', 'r')
dict = {}
for line in tm:
	line = line.strip()
	line = line.translate(None, '!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~')
	line = line.lower()
	list = line.split(' ')
for word in list:	
		if word in dict:
			count = dict[word]
			count += 1
			dict[word] = count
else:
	dict[word] = 1
for word, count in dict.iteritems():
	print word + ":" + str(count)
