Yes of course, you can use the ordinary Python file functions as
described here:
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/inputoutput.html#reading-and-writing-fil
es
For example:

	myfile =
open(r'D:\projects\Myself\HelloPython\src\Drugreservoir.txt')
	filetext = myfile.read()
	myfile.close()

will read the entire contents of the text file into the Python variable
filetext.

If you just want to get the word count of this text, you don't need to
use a loop, by the way - you can get it from:

	wordcount = len(filetext.split())
