First of all, some terminology: You are not *calling* a file, you are
*opening* it or reading.
Once you *open* the file, you store the resulting file object in a
variable named "work", then to use that object to request a line, thus:
for line in work:
print line
Hint: When you say "I keep getting an error", you really have not
provided mush useful information. In the future, when you get an
error, and you want help, spend the time to post the error message and
traceback along with your question. In this case, the problem was
trivially easy to spot, but you'll get past these trivial problems
soon. Then you'll be more likely to find volunteers who will spend time
to help *if* you spend the time to provide useful information.
