How do you know that it's the only one being tested?  Your debugging
statement only prints one that actually matches, not each one that is
tried.

Note that each "keyword" will including the trailing newline, if any.
This is probably why you are only seeing the last keyword match:
because it is the only one without a trailing newline.

To remove the newlines, call the str.strip or str.rstrip method on
each line, or use the str.splitlines method to get the keywords:

keywords1 = open('keywords1.txt').read().splitlines()
