Hi Emile,
Question: What is the source of the line 7 syntax: mbox.split?
I read mbox from the file. eg,
mbox = open("mbox-short.txt",'r').read()
and it looks to me that if you insert the above in front of the for loop
below you'll get further.

Here is a copy of the Traceback message:
NameError
Traceback (most recent call last)
C:\Users\vm\Desktop\apps\docs\Python\8_5_v_26.py in <module>()
5 addresses = set()
6 for addr in [ fromline.split()[0]
----> 7 for fromline in mbox.split('From ')
8 if fromline ]:
9 count = count + 1
NameError: name 'mbox' is not defined
Revised code:
fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ")
if len(fname) < 1 : fname = "mbox-short.txt"
fh = open(fname)
count = 0
addresses = set()
for addr in [ fromline.split()[0]
for fromline in mbox.split('From ')
if fromline ]:
count = count + 1
print addr
print "There were", count, "lines in the file with From as the first word"
