That will read the entire file into a string, then access one character 
at a time from the string.

If you want to work with lines:

for line in f:

Assuming you adopt my approach, then each line will  be a digit followed 
by \n (newline). So no line will == "3". Instead use:

    if line[:-1] == "3":

Since next is a method it must be called, so that becomes:

    line.next()

The rest is fine.
