How is the data in 'users.txt' and 'password.txt' organized?  Given the
filenames, I would expect that 'users.txt' contains one username on each
line, and 'password.txt' contains one password on each line, with the
first username belonging with the first password, the second username
belonging with the second password, and so on.

Is this correct?

If so, that raises the question of how to handle multiple usernames and
passwords.  Do you just want to use one, or are you supposed to use them
all somehow?

Anyway, to begin to solve your problem, I'd copy just the file-reading code
into a separate program and add plenty of print statements to make sure it
works correctly.  Once you have that fixed, then you can worry about the
web login stuff.

And when you read the contents of each file, be aware that the newlines
at the end of each line are included.  If you don't want these, be sure
to call the rstrip() method to remove traling whitespace.
