You've opened the file in write mode. To read from the file,
you'll have to reopen it in read mode ("r"). 

Also, if the file you're dealing with really is a log file,
you probably want don't want to open it in write mode for
writing information either, since that will truncate the
file and lose previously logged information. Try append mode
("a") instead.
